I hate everybody
Just in case it seemed like Dylan had solved his "sleep issues" by sleeping on his stomach, I am sad (and nobody is sadder than I am) to report that this is not the case. It seems you can still wake up lots of times even if you sleep on your stomach. The rest of the week after the big eight-hour stretch we saw spotty sleep and last night was the topper. He must have slept 45 minutes between 9:30 p.m. and 5 a.m. The rest of the time mom and dad were passing him off as he wailed...and wailed....and wailed. We tried everything - even all the "bad habits" they say to avoid. Putting him in our bed, putting him in the stroller and pushing him around, walking him, rocking him. Everything but CIO. I won't let him cry it out. He's too little. Cristiano doesn't agree with me but I'm the mamma and I get the final veto on that. CIO requires that you walk into the room periodically and say things like "Mom and dad love you. They just want you to learn to sleep." He's only four months old and barely knows who mom and dad are. How could he understand why the people who've cared for him up to now would suddenly stop responding to his cries? I fear for our trip to the U.S. this summer. How is this kid who sleeps so horribly going to respond to jet lag and long plane and car trips? I'm grumpy with the world.
