Where do I begin… this process has completely changed our lives. After moving, crib transition, solo parenting for several weeks, we were in survival mode and I didn’t know how to get us out. Norah’s bedtime routine had gotten out of hand and we needed to re-teach her better sleeping habits. Caden needed to learn how to fall asleep on his own and I needed the confidence and support to help get him there.
That’s what you have given us. The confidence to take charge of bedtime, as well as the tools needed to continue on the correct path. I can not believe I spent hours rocking, bouncing, walking up and down the stairs, sweating, and feeding a 20+ lb baby for 8 months! I’m sure you hear it all the time, but I wish we did this sooner.
We are forever grateful for what you have given us. I was at a point where I dreaded every part of the day and didn’t feel like I could really enjoy being a stay at home mom. That sounds awful but every part of the day was a battle in some way. My life revolved around thinking about sleep, and no one was getting any. When is the next nap, will they nap, how long will the fight be to take a nap, how many minutes did he sleep, why isn’t he sleeping, how long will I need to rock him to get him to sleep, is he going to wake her up, how long will the bedtime battle last… etc.
Nap/Bedtime doesn’t have the negative stress tied to it like it did 3 weeks ago. This process has been so positive and I cannot thank you enough for giving us this gift! We are all happier and I feel like this was one of the best decisions I have made for our family!
