So I decided to take the pediatricians advice and let her cry it out instead of rocking my little princess to sleep for her naps and bed time. Needless to say, Amelia had different plans. I decided at 12 weeks I would give this a shot. I put her in her bed Monday for her morning nap sleepy, but awake (as instructed) and she proceeded to cry for the next two hours! I fed her, we played, and then I put her back in her bed sleepy, but awake for her mid-afternoon nap... and she screamed for the next two hours. This went on for 3 days. She didn't get more than a catnap any of those days and seriously screamed all day. I finally gave up Wednesday afternoon and rocked her to sleep (pic below is after she was rocked to sleep... screaming pic is before I rocked her). Two good things came out of this effort: she figured out how to roll over (she got that mad) and she started sleeping through the night. I figured will try the cry it out thing again in a few weeks, but I had about all of the screaming I can handle for this month. Maybe my child is defective or she just knows that I'll eventually give in. That was our first battle of the wills and I lost. Not a good start.
