With the advice of several people I finally bought the Babywise book. I started reading it and it has some really good advice. I bought it a few weeks ago and started the schedule right away. I must admit though - I am pretty good about sticking to it, but there are still times that I let it slide. It can be soooo hard to keep him awake after feeding sometimes! He turns into a little rag doll and its all I can do to keep him awake - hahaha :)
Despite those times, it has been going well and last night was the first night that he slept for 6 hours! We put him down at 9pm and he did not wake up until 3 am - woohoo!!! It might not seem like a lot of sleep to some, but for all you other parents out there - you can understand the excitement. After the 3am feeding he slept until about 6am and has been feeding every few hours since then. I'd like to say that his sleep can be attributed to his new Babywise schedule, but I won't commit to that until this becomes a regular thing....so only time will tell if it is working or not (and I'll be sure to keep you posted).

Babywise does work. Danielle saved my life with it. It's ok to slip you dont always have to be by the book, it will still work, it's awesome. Davin is still the cutest little thing ever. Hope all is well.

I did babywise with Connor and I can say that I would have gone crazy without it. It was so nice to have something to reference when I didn't know what to do. I think it was 8 weeks then he was sleeping from 8 till 6. Stock with it because it breeds good sleepers for the rest of their lives!
