OK, so it was pretty traumatic last night. I didn’t know PJ was capable of such crying!
I put up the play pen in the second bedroom, since I knew we couldn’t do the cry thing with him in our room. We nursed for 7 minutes. Then I put him down and he was ok for several minutes. He started fussing so I set the timer for 3 minutes. Then comforted him for a few minutes. Then left again. Started to cry after a few minutes. Set the timer for 5 minutes. Comforted. Still crying. 7 minutes. Still crying. 10 minutes. Still crying. Threw up! Crying escalating. Then I was crying. By 10pm I couldn’t handle it anymore. I took him to be with me.
I think I’m trying to do too many things at once. Tonite I think we’ll just try to narrow down the nursing part. We’ll try the self-soothing next week.
Good news is he only nursed once last night. I got a decent night’s sleep. We wore ourselves out I guess!
Another traumatic first last night. I mistakenly used Josh’s toothbrush. Ick!

We had to let Wellborn CIO, too. It is hard but it does get better. You and PJ will both feel better once you start getting some good sleep. The first night we did it we all cried a good deal.
