I remember the days well (my son is 2.5) and sometimes I even MISS them!<br /><br />I still semi-swaddled Logan when I put him down when he was about 9 months old. I can't remember how long I did this for, though... I just kind of rolled him up in a blanket like a little rollie pollie. :) It worked for him.<br /><br />I hope you find something that works soon! :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15648563076032021002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089616402217223628.post-91578423603292190852012-01-30T14:29:51.068-06:002012-01-30T14:29:51.068-06:00only thing that ever worked for me was Ferber. Ho...only thing that ever worked for me was Ferber. However, don't do it during teething, big transitions or big milestones...It wont work. My girls never really cried more than 15 mins.<br /><br />Another book I really liked was the No Cry Sleep solution. It gave so many great ideas that I used along with the Ferber method, which I think helped things along. I really liked the idea of setting routines, etc. For instance I sing the exact same song to my girls when I am putting them to bed. When I start to sing that song they know that it is time to go to sleep. Good Luck! I know how hard it can be :)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606366581305445289noreply@blogger.com
