Aidan has been having trouble sleeping through the night since forever it seems, and I haven't been the greatest about enforcing him sleeping in his crib. I give in when he wakes up in the middle of the night and bring him to bed with me. Drives Derek crazy cause Aidan is a kicker, and he usually aims for Derek. But, the time has come and we need to start teaching/training Aidan to soothe/comfort himself so he can fall asleep on his own.
So after doing some research, and hearing reviews from other moms who have tried it, we have decided to use Dr. Ferber's sleep method training. Yes, it is the 'cry it out' method, but it has been proven to work. If it doesn't work for Aidan, than we will try something else. But for now, I don't know what else to do. He can't continue to sleep with us, and he needs to learn how to comfort himself during the night. The only problem is that he is teething right now, so that makes things a bit tough. I am such a sucker for him and have a hard time listening to him cry, but I will just have to get over that and do what's best for him.
I ordered the book today and it should be here by this weekend, so hopefully we can get started early next week. Will give an update soon! Wish us luck!
