Zachary's first night of CIO

Zachary's first night of CIO. (crying it out)

We did the usual bedtime routine...bath/bottle and then I laid him down at 9:30pm. I covered him perfectly...rubbed his head, kissed him and said, "g'night"...then walked out.

He didn't fuss right away...took a min. or two. When he started to cry...I started the timer for 5mins. When the buzzer went off, I went upstairs to his room...repeated what I did when I laid him down initially. I rubbed his head (once)...skipped the kissing...then said "g'night" and walked out.

This time I was suppose to wait 10mins...so I set the timer for 10mins. He was asleep in 2mins (there was 8mins left on the timer).

He woke up at 2am, but barely fussed...only 20-30seconds.

Again, he woke up at 6am...but didn't really fuss...so he went back to sleep. There was no crying at night...just a little bit of a fuss at 2 and at 6.

At 7am, he started to fuss again...so I asked Justin to go get him as my boobs were rock-hard engorged.

Let me just say...Z did fine...I didn't. haha. Justin laughed that I need to CIO, haha. I stirred most of the night...worrying about him upstairs in his crib. Even though I didn't sleep well...I feel better than usual.
