The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Toddlers

[ailbhe]

Linnea is happy, healthy, and alert almost all day. She has an unusually long attention span, frequently focussing unsupervised on tasks (like painting or sticking things to other things with lots and lots of glue) for up to an hour. She is cheerful, outgoing, and physically active. She is not particularly demanding or fussy, and accepts disappointments resignedly most of the time. She generally wakes in the morning cheerful and ready to play.

I think we've solved any sleep problems she might have had. And she didn't get upset about it, either, and nor did we. I don't even remember it being difficult to do, just not instant.

So now there's US. We need to change her obviously healthy-for-her sleep habits because they're not good for us.

Wish us luck.

best of luck, and remember to factor in the time change in a few days

Good luck! (This was us for a very long time - Colin never had a problem, but we found hourly waking hard... In our case, we were able to solve it by altering our behaviour, not his, and then he adopted adult-style sleeping all of a sudden around 16 months or so.)

Hourly waking was what we fixed last time, with the NCSS baby book. Now it's just one night waking, and we also want to stop cosleeping *quite* so much.
