Sleeping Babies

In just about every conversation I have with an adult about Crew they seem to always ask about the long sleepless nights. Every single one has been completely shocked that I reply with "he sleeps through the night." But no one says "well, how did you do that?" it's always..."wow you're lucky!" or "not every baby will do that!" But I'm here to tell you that I'm not just lucky. We worked hard for BOTH children to sleep through the night. Cooper did at 7 weeks and Crew did around 8 weeks. Coincidence?

We HIGHLY recommend this book.
When I was talking with several friends and family about their baby's sleep schedule each one of the parents (who's baby was sleeping through the night) recommended this book. Brady and I both have read it and think it's AWESOME! There are things that we don't "go by the book" but we adjust to our family needs and they still sleep through the night. I mean Crew is sleeping 10-12 hours straight and he's not even 3 months old.

So here it is. Our favorite "magic" book! And I thank EVERY single mother who recommended this book (especially Chelsea for helping us at first with Cooper). It got me through nursing school :)

:) You are WELCOME! This made me smile...I know, I do not know what I would do without that book either!! It is funny how pretty much every other random mom that you talk to asks about how they sleep, or how tiring having a new baby is! And I'm always like uhh well not really!! haha I'm so glad it's working with Crew too! I love sleeping babies!

AMEN! We used that book with Beckett and had the same results. It's funny how people always say "you're lucky" when telling them your baby sleeps through the night at a young age. No people! It's not luck! It's work that I put in to get a baby that sleeps through the night! It might be hard in the beginning but after a few weeks, it is TOTALLY worth it!

We used this on Kenna too. I can't wait till Peyton is old enough to use it on him as well. I miss my sleep.

I sleep trained both of my kids by this book too. It was awesome. I actually read 2 more books by that author about kids development and they are pretty good as well. Your kids are adorable!

I deleted my comment because I was logged in as Tucker. I hate when that happens. I've heard great things about this book. I'll have to try this next time around. I'm glad your boys are sleeping well. That makes all the difference. Hope everything else is going well!
