I only have one but I teach all day and I'm on dorm duty (boarding school) about every other night...We went through a phase of nursing every 45 minutes after midnight and I went nuts. Ferber method failed. The only think that helped (I'm not saying worked, mind) was sleeping in a different room because his crib is in my room (small apartment) so I slept on the couch. I also made myself let him cry. My limit was 10 minutes and usually he'd go back to sleep in 6-8. We still have nights when he's up around 2-3 am and nurses several times before he's up at 7, but we also have many night when he sleeps until 4 or 5, once even until 6:30. I woke up feeling 10 years younger.<BR/>Hang in there. There's a reason sleep deprivation is a form of torture! Can you get a night helper once in a while, just to catch up on your sleep? <BR/>Good luck!<BR/>MaylilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976280105860239433.post-57190405676732720882009-02-21T02:15:00.000-08:002009-02-21T02:15:00.000-08:00Oh my goodness, I am so with you.

Nothing wrong with it at all. Much, much love to you!!<BR/><BR/>I have also discovered through my own years of independent research that every kid is really freaking different when it comes to sleep, and there is little you can do to change their sleeping nature. But you can tweak it slightly!<BR/><BR/>Have you tried a little cereal in a bottle right before bed? According to my mother that's what got us sleeping through the night. If they were older I'd suggest removing wheat, but since you're wheat free anyway and they are still tiny, that's not really an option lol.<BR/><BR/>Love you!!! Someday I will come to Portland and stay up with the babies so you guys can sleep the whole night :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976280105860239433.post-87694693496714547952009-02-20T21:44:00.000-08:002009-02-20T21:44:00.000-08:00Luckily bloglines showed all of your sister.

No decapitation.<BR/><BR/>I totally let Marsh sleep in the swing at night sometimes because he *would* sleep there and sometimes it was too hard being his pacifier and/or holding him constantly.<BR/><BR/>You're my hero, dear.
