So far sleep training is the worst part of parenting

Night 9.

Except today we travelled (7hours in the car bc of weather), and then buddy went down suuuuuuper late bc he was wired from being overtired and antsy from being tied down for so long, so we let him stay up a bit to get some playtime with his grandparents.

So, we brought this on ourselves. Tonight we’re (well, A is) doing checks, since it’s a different sleep environment and we want him to know we’re here.

But through last night, it was still 45-60 min of crying, followed by sleeping sitting up. (Sometimes literally sitting staight up, not even leaning his head. it’s soul-crushing to see.) the good part is that four of the nights, he’s slept trough to 6-7am. The last two nights he eventually (hours later) laid himself down.

He’s a stubborn baby. Must get that from the donor’s side 😉

But in actuality, this process blows hardcore. Not getting him to sleep on his own before this is my one real regret so far.
