Chase

Chase just turned 7 months old! For the month of July his sleeping has been better (as you can see above he is often exhausted :-). At the end of June we went to the chiropractor, added the allergy meds, and halved the reflux meds. I think all of this greatly helped and he started sleeping better. He would still get up a couple times at night other than to eat and when he got up it no longer was that something was wrong, just that he was a baby that had been tended to all the time for 6 months. So at that point we could finally do some baby sleep training. We started playing an instrumental lullaby CD when he slept and I would only pat his back when he was upset, not pick him up. He only fussed a very little amount and would settle back down. By now he only gets up the once to eat typically, and two times he forgot to do that! The last week or so we have even had to lay him down awake to go to bed and he fusses very little and then goes to sleep. Finally after 7 months! Although Callie definitely has taught me that everything is a phase. I know that he will go thru many but at least we seem to be thru the 6 month long beginning phase. We will see how going back to Mary's affects him.
