[quote=Anonymous][quote=MDLady]I don't have any advice but good luck.  Let us know what works and what doesn't.  And yes, kids can be very manipulative.  My daughter learned that if she says that she pooped then someone will come in to check her diaper.  So every evening she will keep saying that she pooped, when in reality it's true maybe 10% of the time.  I go in once in a while to check on her, say good night, and then leave.  She eventually falls asleep.

People (including kids) are just wired differently.  I am still a really poor sleeper, have always been one since I was born.  It takes me forever to fall asleep and sometimes if I awake at night, it takes a long time to fall asleep.  My Mom and daughter are the same way.  My sister, husband and Dad are great sleepers.  They are out as soon as their heads hit the pillow.  My daughter unfortunately got the poor sleeper gene :)[/quote]

Thanks so much! Appreciate your kind words. I'll come back and update, I've got a good game plan- 1. Okay to Wake alarm clock 2. Cut down water by filling bottles halfway and than hopefully cutting down altogether. 3. No more monster spray. 4. Keep it firm and quiet "it's time for bed now" and that's it.

I'm the same way as well, terrible sleeper. My husband is amazing, he can fall asleep anywhere in about 2 minutes. My youngest is the same- he slept through the night at like 3 weeks old and he prefers his bed and just likes to be left to fall asleep on his own most of the time. It's magic! [/quote]
