Cry it out

So I think when Lucy was a few weeks old I posted something on this blog and put "Crying it out" as the headline. Well, this week we really did "cry it out" in all senses of the phrase. What that means is that instead of going in and feeding her in the middle of the night when she woke up, I just let Lucy cry. It was insanely hard for two nights, and then on the third night she slept through! She's still waking up very early - 5 on a few days since she's been sleeping through, 6:35 on one day, and 4 today. The 4am wake-up I believe is because of course now that she's sleeping through the night, she is getting another tooth. In any case, sleeping from 6:30 or 7 to 4am is very different than sleeping until 4 and waking up at 12, 2, 3, etc. So we are making small steps but I think we are getting there! Its a big relief to be able to sleep a bit better - that is until things inevitably change again....
