The Science of Sleep or "To Sleep, Perchance to Dream"

Mummy and Daddy finally broke down and used a modified Ferber (cry it out) technique to help Vincenzo learn how to sleep in his crib and without nursing down.

We are enjoying great success!

Vincenzo has SLEPT through the night since night 4 for the new sleeping strategy. Now he goes to sleep within 8 minutes of bedtime and only cries for a moment (if at all) when we leave the room. On a typical night he sleeps from 7:30 p.m. or 8:00 p.m. through to 4:30 a.m. or even 7:30 a.m. (If he wakes up at 4:30 all he needs is a short feed and back to sleep he goes once in his crib.) How exciting for the whole family to get good sleep in their own beds.




With this new "sleeping" process, Vincenzo is taking two consistent naps a day without nursing, driving, walking, rocking or co-sleeping to get down. Hoo-ray for The Blake Family!

Thanks to all those friends and family who provided support and encouragement during this tough time. We really appreciate it.
