What were we thinking starting sleep training on a busy week? Needless to say it hasn’t worked because we haven’t been home. Also we decided “cry it out” is not for us.

Now, we are starting over with the Baby Whisperer method. So far I love it. Tomorrow starts our first day of actual technique implementation. This means I’m pretty much staying inside all day for the next week or so (not much of a sacrifice when you walk outside and melt in the 90 degree weather).

By the end, Lexi should

• only eat 4-5 times a day (instead of 8),
• go to bed with a short bedtime routine,
• soothe herself,
• be on a schedule,
• and, possibly, not use a pacifier.

Wahoo, independence for all.
