After such a rough night of no sleep, we decided to give the crib a try. Being the mommy, I would hear EVERY squeak, suck, sigh, etc, that Caeden had and that makes sleep a lot harder. So last night we put him down in his crib for the first time at 3 weeks old and it was the best thing we could have done! I turned down the monitor and put it under my pillows so I wouldn't hear the little noises, but just the cries. We fed him at 10:00 and put him in bed a little before 11:00. He didn't wake up until 4:30 to eat!!! I had a SOLID 5 hours with hearing nothing! Then after a very quick feed, and no diaper change (that is what lots of websites said to do so it won't wake them up), he went back to the crib. It was past 8:00 when I decided to wake him up to get him on his schedule! It was fabulous!!!! Lots of deep sleep and John got a FULL nights sleep for the first time in 3 weeks! It was wonderful after such a hard night! Hopefully tonight goes just as well in the crib!
