Check out that book Baby Wise and get your routine going. For example, I would grab the same things each time it was time for bed or hum a little song. It gets him used to the idea of going to bed.

It sounds like Lincoln (and subsequently you) have a little extra difficulty with the reflux and needing to sleep elevated. When Ryguy came home, he had a stuffy nose. We started him sleeping on the Boppy to be elevated a bit, and getting him to sleep flat was a huge challenge.

Poor you & poor Lincoln 70 mins. is ROUGH. The longest Carter ever cried was the first nap in the morning the day we started & that was only for 45. That seemed like hell enough to me. He barely fusses for 5 now before he passes out.

When we go somewhere or to visit our parents, she screams worse than she does at home. But, eventually she goes to sleep.<br /><br />We are big believers in crying it out. Lucy fell right to sleep after day 2 of it. Now, she's back to fussing again when we put her down but, we know she's Cadyhttp://journey1000words.comnoreply@blogger.com
