Shout it from the Rooftops!


My babies can sleep through the night! At least Harper can and Allie is so close!  Three nights ago Harper slept 7pm-7am with one feeding at 9pm that I woke her up for.  The next two nights she slept 10pm-5:45am.  And last night she was out from 8pm-7am!  Allie has still been eating about every three or four hours, but last night she went to sleep at 7:30pm and then only needed a feeding at 9:30pm and 2:30am, then I woke her up at 7am to eat with Harper. 

I must also add that to get these hours of sleep took some really sad sessions of crying it out.  But after I had tried everything three times and they keep waking up and crying, I just had to let them get it all out on their own.  I did read Baby Wise and know that people, including pediatricians, don't like this book's philosophy on sleep and crying it out, but for now it seems to be working. Am I a cruel mom?  Maybe, but I at least I am well-rested and therefore a better mom during the day.
