It’s been AGES since I’ve been on this blog — so long, in fact, that I’d forgotten that I still had it public. I’m encouraged to find some great comments from people, which indicates that the topics I’ve posted about here are valuable to people, so I guess I’ll keep posting and not “hide” the [...]

An Axiom on Sleep and Babies
Posted in Babies, Sleep on April 26, 2007 | 1 Comment »
The more they sleep, the more they sleep. Do not make the mistake of thinking that if you keep your baby up more during the day that she will sleep better or longer at night. The opposite is true… Let your baby have nice, long, full naps during the day. The more she conks out [...]

Just after we completed a week of sleep training via the Sleepeasy Solution, Lulu started cutting her first tooth… As soon as that tooth came in, she had a day of calm and then a second tooth began coming in. Lulu got her first two teeth within 5 days. Amazing. We completely abandoned sleep expectations during [...]

This blog got an outstanding leap in traffic today and, judging by most of the referrals, it looks like people are seeking information on the Sleepeasy Solution. Here’s the summary of my experience: The Sleepeasy Solution book was a total godsend to my family. In the course of roughly 7 days of sleep training using [...]

It’s been a few days since I declared the “sleep training” to be complete. I guess I should have been more clear about that… Um… yeah. So, phase one of sleep training is complete. In my mind, this means that I know that, in normal circumstances, my 6 month old daughter knows how to get [...]
Houston, We Have a Poop
Posted in Babies, Diaper Business, Sleep on April 17, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I finally geared myself up to, um… you know… use the thermometer to help the pooping action and, lo and behold, just as I lay Lulu on the diaper table and undid her diaper, things started moving… Maybe it was merely the threat of the thermometer that got her innards jumping, or perhaps she was [...]
Teething and Sleep

Wow! When it rains, it pours, I guess. Yesterday morning, I noticed that Lulu has a tooth bud poking through her gum. It is razor sharp and we’ll see how that plays out for breastfeeding. I already got nipped a bit, but it was dealable. In addition to the tooth stuff… Lulu seems to have hit [...]
Sleep Training Conclusion
Posted in Babies, Sleep Training, Sleepeasy Solution on April 15, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Last night, the second evening without her 2nd night feeding, Lulu did great! She slept right through until 6:30 AM. With that success, I’m officially calling the sleep training to be complete. I’m continuing to hold onto my copy of the Sleepeasy Solution with a tight grip – the book really is fantastic. It has several [...]

Important note: though this is the ninth day of our sleep training attempts, it is really only the seventh day of following the Sleepeasy Solution. This completes a whole week of sleep training following the Sleepeasy program. Because she just finished her night weaning last night, I ‘m going to see how tonight goes. If [...]

Important note: though this is the ninth day of our sleep training attempts, it is really only the seventh day of following the Sleepeasy Solution. This completes a whole week of sleep training following the Sleepeasy program. Because she just finished her night weaning last night, I will continue to chronicle for another day or [...]
