Results of Baby Bootcamp, Week 1

Our first week of sleep training and scheduling is a huge success! Gunnar has taken a morning nap EVERY morning this week, with the shortest nap lasting about 30 minutes, and the longest lasting about an hour. The morning nap hardly required any "backbone" on my part, as Gunnar barely ever even cried. Afternoon nap has been a bit more tricky, and HAS required me to stay strong, and endure several long (heartbreaking for me) bouts of crying, but he has fallen asleep every day except for one, and one of the days, he napped for two and a half hours!!!! As far as nights go, we are gradually moving his bedtime up 30 minutes per week, until we arrive at our goal of a 7:30 bedtime. We've implemented a bedtime routine, that consists of me bathing him, Nason feeding him, and then Nason putting him to bed. All week, we have put him in his crib at 9:30 (thirty minutes earlier than normal), and he has continued to sleep through the night, sleeping all the way until 8 am. Yeah!! Getting geared up for Week 2. Hopefully by the end of this week, our sleep problems will be solved, and we will have a napping pro on our hands!
