This is it! Today is the day we put Caleb through the night training.. partly to liberate us of the night shifts but also we feel its time (about time!) we let him sleep on his own...
so here's the plan:
1) Put him down to sleep at bedtime (around 10pm)
2) Let him cry it out on his own (for maximum of 45mins)
a-i) if still crying after 45mins = pick up and soothe for 15mins and restart another 45mins (and hope for the best!)
a-ii) if still crying after 45mins = pick up and latch to sleep = night training FAIL! =/
b) if stop crying before 45mins = Rejoice! (be on standby for night shift crying)
3) if cry in the middle of the night = allow him to cry for maximum of 45mins
a-i) if still crying after 45mins = pick up and soothe for 15mins and restart another 45mins (and hope for the best!)
a-ii) if still crying after 45mins = pick up and latch to sleep = night training FAIL! =/
b) if stop crying before 45mins = Rejoice! (prepare emotionally for the next day's training)
Dear God, we're at your mercy. Please help us through this period. Help Caleb to sleep through the night. In Jesus' Name. =)
