CIO update
2/24
It’s been 1.5 months after the day we tried full CIO.
He’s been generally sleeping better but def not sleeping thru the night. I don’t think I’m gonna push for him to do that. Esp since I’m not sure how much he needs to eat, he loves the boob, he seems to be teething and needing more contact with me.
And that is ok with me.
He does good stretches of sleep thru the night and even tho I’m tired, I think he needs me throughout the night. He’s still a baby who does soooo good putting himself to sleep for naps and bedtime - and now seeing how Amelia and Yaakov have turned out - amelia sleeping thru the night and yaakov being more fussy because he’s awake earlier but doesn’t call out for anyone … I feel a little more confident that closeness and giving my baby extra comfort is not gonna ruin his sleep forever. And I can cherish this time with him and being here for him.
Still gonna have boundaries and still letting him fuss it out sometimes in the night and waiting to see if it’s a full blown AHHH I’m AWAKE AND I NEED YOU cry, or if it’s just a .. I woke up and I’m so tired I need to figure out how to get back to sleep cry.
I love him to pieces.
