Hi, everyone!
I was just wondering if anybody had any tips for getting Max to go longer stretches of sleep at night without the whole crying thing? Not that I mind getting up every 2 hours, but, for HIS sake;)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It's kind of frustrating to read Dr. Brazelton and Dr. Sears book saying that at his age he should be sleeping 10-12 hour stretches. I'm thinking 4 hours on a regular basis would be FABULOUS!
Anyways, thanks for your help:)

Did you get my text about the books? Secrets of the Baby Whisperer by Hogg & Blau and Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Marc Weissbluth

you have to get rid of one of the feedings in the early am. (he'll be fine eating every 4 hours) start by slowly cutting the time/amount down, don't just cut cold turkey. unfortunatly i'm afraid you're going to have to just let him cry. just remember that crying is good for his lungs!!
