I truly feel your pain. He is doing better with it but still has bad days-like yesterday! He is off to daycare in only 5 weeks and I know that he will have to get himself to sleep there. This is the main reason I am doing this but overall it is best for both of us. You might consider buying the book- "Moms On Call" as a reference. I got it from cousin Mindy, who is a maternity nurse, and also dealing with a 4 month old. Her son, AJ, sleeps through the night and she lent the book to me. www.momsoncall.comMary Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549862598942729786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2702789768234521747.post-76736729252591152372008-07-02T06:26:00.000-04:002008-07-02T06:26:00.000-04:00Hey Jennifer,Don't know if you want to try this or...Hey Jennifer,<BR/>Don't know if you want to try this or just let him cry it out but... we snuggle Desi until she starts to drift off. She's not totally out but good and sleepy. Then we lay her down. She usually wiggles herself to her comfy spot and drifts off to sleep. It gives us that precious snuggle time before she doesn't want to snuggle anymore and she learns to fall asleep on her own.<BR/><BR/> I can't believe how big Eli is already. Don't ya wish you had a pause button on that growth?? keep him little just a little longer??<BR/><BR/>Good luck with him going to sleep. I'll be praying for you.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12847134465858358469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2702789768234521747.post-73612008046817832542008-07-01T22:24:00.000-04:002008-07-01T22:24:00.000-04:00Jennifer,Do what works best for you, Matt & Eli - ...Jennifer,<BR/>Do what works best for you, Matt & Eli - whatever that may be. Eli will be little for only a little while and you want it to be enjoyable. Go with your motherly instinct. Mother does know best!

I wish I had some motherly secret or magic that would solve all your problems (or at least this one)but it just doesn't work that way! You have to do what you think is best for your circumstance. I pray that "little man" will go to sleep tonight with peaceful ease and stay asleep until morning. I also pray for you and Matt to have the strength that you need to follow your heart in this undertaking!<BR/>Love and my heart is with you ,<BR/>MamaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
