He slept two weeks straight and then we stopped doing the sleep fairy thing and he started waking up again. I hope we will eventually be able to stop buying him toys to get him to sleep, but if that's what it takes, so be it!Jen Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528551519602313049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609697803613641438.post-5712349874156724082008-07-25T21:08:00.000-05:002008-07-25T21:08:00.000-05:00I am also a big fan of Pentley's No Cry Sleep Solu...I am also a big fan of Pentley's No Cry Sleep Solution Books.

Actually, I still cringed, but managed to make it all the way through. <BR/><BR/>Nighttime parenting challenges and sleep resistance are very close to my heart (though I wish they weren't! lol) so I recognize that I'm reading this with bias.<BR/><BR/>It's just so easy for information to be misinterpreted or misunderstood when conducted online, especially without a 'give-and-take' component.<BR/><BR/>For any parent having challenges at night, I highly recommend anything by <A HREF="http://www.askdrsears.com" REL="nofollow">Dr. William Sears (and family)</A> as well as <A HREF="http://www.pantley.com/elizabeth/" REL="nofollow">Elizabeth Pantley's "No Cry Sleep Solution"</A>.SallyNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01457195241429331445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609697803613641438.post-45046908720762369992008-07-24T16:30:00.000-05:002008-07-24T16:30:00.000-05:00Not give too much love?
