Sometime in December our CF Nurse recommended that I read the book "Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems" because Baby R has never really been able to nap unless we are driving in the car. So I told my Mom she could get me that book for Christmas and she did. But for some reason, I was a little skeptical about reading the book. I guess I just thought I could figure it out on my own. However, after a week of trying to get Baby R to sleep in her crib unsuccessfully, I finally picked up the book. I read most of it in one day because I needed to solve her sleep problem quickly - for my own sanity.
The book was extremely helpful, not just with solving sleep problems, but explaining how they develop and why. Last night Baby R slept in her crib for the entire night. In fact, she ended up sleeping until 7:00 am. Normally she wakes up at 5:30 am, no matter what time she goes to sleep. Of course, she wasn't actually asleep for the night until about 12:30 am. We put her down around 10:00 pm, and she was dozing off and on for the next while. But we stuck to the plan and it worked!
Baby R even slept better than her dad, who apparently got so antsy about the plan that he couldn't settle down. "Restless legs" he claims...
So to anyone who has a child that is not sleeping well, I sincerely recommend this book.
