I just have to throw it out there... Landon has moved to his crib marvelously.
We have been on the journey for about 2 weeks now. When we started, Landon would stand and scream at the top of his lungs for hours. Everything I tried wasn't working. I thought it was hopeless.
We decided to take baby steps to help him learn that his crib is a safe place.
The plan was to lay him down and let him get all worked up. then come in the room and offer only a hand in his crib. Then sit with my hand in the crib until he was entirely asleep and then slowly sneak out. The last few days, I have been sneaking out as soon as he was asleep enough not to care and letting him cry it out some at nap time.
Those baby steps are done now! He can now calm himself down in a timely matter! New plan, straight cry-it-out method.
After only 15 minutes of tears, Landon put himself down for a nap earlier. It didn't last long but it was a morning one.... those never seem too.
Bedtime was even easier. He was slightly upset for only 7 minutes tonight!
I am now praying for a boy who can last 6-7 hours in his crib without me... that might be a pipe dream.
