"Go To Bed Sleepy Head" |

I have so had a hard time getting my boy to bed. When he was an infant, he was up every two hours like clockwork. Understandably, for feedings and changings. Then it turned into he was fine after going to sleep, but he would not go to sleep ! And
he is still being difficult. I do have to say that I have been doing the same routine every night over and over and over and over and over again every night. I hope I do not jinx myself but I do have to say my persaverance is finally paying off. When I do leave his room now, he is almost not fussing at all and goes right to sleep ! Wow ! Months of the same routine ! and he is finally responding ... My advice : establish a sleep routine that you can live with and never ever diviate from it ! It will pay off and you will have some peace ! There were times during my process when I had wanted to skip steps because I was too tired or even too bored with the routines. Yet I continued on with the routines ... over and over and over again ! Be strong and know that that fussing one hour after bedtime is just for attention and not for need .... My boy is sleeping good now ... Lisa
