Im back--

Im back and better than ever. I mean, im getting some sleep (we are getting some sleep) /...
Gavin is 7 1/2 months and he has been in his crib sleeping tightly for about 1 month now. We finally have him sleeping in his crib (our procrastination came from him being in his brace, and partially our reluctance to let him go on his own). After months of inconsistent sleeping (waking up in the middle of the night) in our part, we decided to have him weaned from our bed. The ban was made complete by trying something called the Ferber method. Initially it calls for some crying but results are seen within 2 days to a week. Gavin started to sleep soundly on night 3. He is now conditioned that as soon as he hits the crib, he understands that it is time for bed. Of course you have to follow routine and do's and don'ts. But his routine as with many parents is, bath, bottle, story book, bed. Routine is important and children need it. I love routine for some reason, but i enjoy my side trips too.
Oh sleep and blogging, i love you.
