[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1)Two sets of blackout curtains (even put a towel under the door) - no light. 2) And a loud white noice machine. 3) Same bedtime EVERY night. 4) Same wake up time every night 5) A real morning activity AND a real afternoon activity (pref outside of the home) 6) Only go to the room twice (after that no more - let him/her/they cry) 7)Repeat the above every day.[/quote] Mostly this (although I think PP means same wake up every [i]morning[/i], yes, even on weekends!). For #6, we went with the 5-10-20-40 minute (or alternately 5-10-15-20 depending on your stomach for the crying) routine. First time, you wait 5 minutes. Second, 10 minutes. We never had to go beyond the 20-minute one but we had friends who got up into the 40+ minute territory for a few nights. Now they're all teens and can sleep like forever (it seems!). Hang in there. It is frustrating but if you can get in front of it now, you'll all be better off.[/quote]
