Ferberizin'

For those of you who don't have children or haven't studied child sleep patterns, Richard Ferber is a pediatrics specialist who advocates that babies should learn to fall asleep on their own. He outlines a method of teaching them this habit by letting them cry it out, with Mom and Dad only checking in on the baby in period increments which grow longer as the days continue.

We are ferberizing Tommy.

So far, he has slept TWO FULL NIGHTS through, which is a blasted miracle considering how many times he "needed" to nurse each night prior. How long have I been losing sleep for nothing??!
