Day 2 of Sleep Training

Warning: This is rather detailed. Mostly so I can remember it later on.

Alright. Yesterday was rough but I only cried twice. He cried 40 minutes for the first nap to sleep 30 minutes. 45 min to sleep 20 min, 45 min to sleep 20 min, 15 min to sleep 30 min, & 45 min to sleep 10 min. The last nap was so confusing. I went up to get him after he only slept 10 minutes and when I picked him up he looked wide awake, so I fed him as I always do after he wakes up. Annnnnd, he fell asleep and slept for 2 1/2 hrs in my arms. Poor baby was so exhausted. Leo kept asking me if I should go put him in the crib, but he never takes long naps (he hasn't taken a nap longer than 1 hr in the past month), so I thought for sure, he'd wake up at any moment. It's so hard to know exactly how to react! Holding him and rocking him was wonderful. That's what I'll miss for awhile. It's my favorite and I kept second guessing myself last night. But then when he finally woke up, I changed and nursed him and put him back in the crib. He cried for about 25-30 minutes and then slept for 4 hrs!!! When he woke up at 1:45 am, I went ahead and fed him. And when I put him back down, he fussed for maybe 20 minutes and then slept another 3 hrs. At 4:45, I fed him again and when I put him back down, he fussed for just a minute or two and then slept until 7. I kind of think he would've slept longer except he peed on himself. Poor bubba.

This morning, after being awake for a little over an hr, I did my routine and laid him down and he cried for about 15 minutes and now he's been asleep for 20 minutes. We'll see how today goes. I'm trying so hard to stay committed. I think the best thing yesterday was that he figured out to roll to his stomach quickly and that's how he's been sleeping. It totally freaked us out the first time because of all the SIDS issues but they say, once they can roll over, you can't stop them. So, we haven't and I think that's why he slept so long in the night. Anyway, sorry for the boredom, but I wanted to write this down so if my next child is a poor sleeper too, I can remember how it went.
