Within two days of the previous post we regressed. Argh. It's gotten a bit better since then and we're nearing the 7-8 lovely hours again. Elliot seems to respond to the bedtime cues:. he hangs out with mom and dad, gets into his jammies, gets nursed and rocked and hears a few (very off-key) lullabies. He gets put into his crib when he looks sleepy but isn't yet asleep. A few weeks ago when I'd lay him down he'd stay in that semi-awake state, eyelids a bit droopy. Now he tends to go wide-eyed as soon has he's in the crib.
It's no wonder that there is so much literature and so many widely varying opinions about sleep out there. I think I secretly believed that because Chad and I are such sound sleepers and because our parents told us what wonderful sleepers we were as kids, that somehow those perfect sleep genes would be Elliot's too. It turns out that the school of thought I belong to is that babies have to learn to go to sleep by themselves and that just takes time. A Lot of time.

I rarely leave a response, but i did a few searching and wound up here "cursed".
And I actually do have a few questions for you if you usually do not mind.
Could it be only me or does it look like a few of the responses appear like left by brain dead visitors?
:-P And, if you are writing at additional online sites,
