Thanks moms for all your help!
After all the feedback, praying, talking it over with Kraig, research....we may have come up with some things to try in order to get Rett to the crib.
First, let me say that all babies are different. haha Who knew! Schedules are important...and we have a pretty good schedule - not real strict but we have one that works for us. But now we are going to be stricter especially at bed time.
But I am doing some trial and error things and trying to get him moved. So, first we are doing the cry-it-out method for naps but really I'm just letting him get tired and then letting fall asleep where ever he is....I know that's not the correct way of doing it and we don't last long but I give it a try at least once a day....
I am not a huge fan of the cry-it-out method but I am willing to give it a try. So, I am for naps.
And let's see what else we are trying...we are doing a more strict regime at bedtime....trying new baby foods, bathtime because let's face it - Rett's covered in food when we are done - I love feeding times, after bath, lavender baby lotion, playing, reading a book, prayers and then one more nursing session and then putting down by 9:00. So far this week, it's been a success. Now, we just need to move him to the crib and see how that goes...
He still wakes up 4 or 5 hours in so we will try probably in the next few weeks. But let's be honest, I don't know if I am completely ready for him to move. That's just one more thing to show he's growing up. :( O it's a part of life....
And he has 3 teeth and one more on the way!!! Exciting...yet, again one more thing to show he's growing up. He can scoot/crawl backwards, clap, and we are working on some sign language. It's loads of fun...just bittersweet.
Let's see...we start our 10 Days of Real Food next week. Kraig and I have been on a new lifestyle change and trying to eat healthier and I have been walking more and blah, blah, blah but you can find out what it's all about here. It's real interesting. And we are willing to give it a shot. We have not had cokes in 3 weeks and Kraig hasn't had sugar in almost a month. I'm working on it and for sure next week, I will stick with the plan.
Either way...thanks for all the feedback moms! The articles and ideas are all so helpful and we are trying a little bit of them all to see what works for our little guy.
We have lots going on in the next few weeks - baby showers, birthday parties, and baseball season so spring is fast approaching and we are excited - before we know it we will be celebrating Rett's first birthday...I love watching him grow.
So, again....babies are all so different and I love learning from other moms, I love learning what works from them and getting advice from you all.
Hopefully, I'll have many pictures from the upcoming weeks...
Enjoy your rainy day.
thanks again all
finally getting some sleep - ash
