Sweet Dreams!

Sleep training has been going really well! We're not perfect yet, but mostly I can lay Miss Amelia down in her crib or pack 'n play and she'll fall asleep within about 30 minutes. We've had a couple of naps where she has fallen asleep within 5 minutes and no pick ups, but we've also had the times where it's been 45 minutes and several. The good news is that we are establishing a routine, she is learning the program, and we are moving in the right direction.

So falling asleep has been good, but staying asleep (another skill she needs to learn) has not come along yet. Nap sleep cycles are about 45 minutes and she hasn't learned to string 2 or more together so she is not taking only 45 minute naps (as opposed to the 2 hour ones she would take in the swing).

Miles learned to take naps longer than 45 minutes once he was down to only 1 a day, and still sometimes wakes up after 45 minutes anyway. Oh well, at least she is getting the first part down for now, and we can learn to deal with the rest!

Good for you Amelia!! We are so proud of you!!!!
