Much better these last few days. But, yes, it is also up to us to not go in there all the time. Jason and I are trying to support each other with that. Thanks again!

How do you normally address it when she starts screaming? You might check out Ferber's sleep solution book. He has a great strategy for going in every few minutes to reassure and then leaving her to self-sooth until she finally figures out that you mean business.

Is she still napping? If she is, this might be the first signs that she's ready to give up her nap (and that is SO not a pretty couple of months!!) I think when Ella was about Sydney's age and tried pulling the bedtime tantrum thing, we told her she didn't have to go to bed, she could stay up and play in her room. She liked that freedom so much and usually put herself to bed about 15 minutes later. Our latest "strategy" is to give her 2 tic tacs (they are motivated by the weirdest things, aren't they?) if she stays in her bed all night. It's working for now, but I'm sure there will be a new issue next month. Would love to hear what others have tried...amy Valkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15719266101691471183noreply@blogger.com
