Sleep Update

Lily has never slept through the night. Mom and I have been splitting the night with Mom taking until midnight. I then take over and do the rest of the night until Lily gets up at about 6:00. For a long time, Lily would sleep an hour at a time then wake up and start to cry. Once she got her first tooth, this changed. She started to sleep 2-3 hours at a time.

This week, for some unknown reason, she reverted back to the one hour sleep cycle. That is until last night when she was back to three hours at a stretch. We have been reading the various approaches to getting her to sleep through the night and have decided that we can not just let her "cry it out" as suggested by many of the experts.

We have decided that we are going to try a method that will get her to sleep better but will not involve nearly as much crying. Wish us luck! We need the sleep!
