Less than 25% of children sleep without waking for a 10 hr period, in fact 'sleeping through the night' is classified as 5, FIVE, straight hours! I understand you are tired and frustrated but parenting doesn't end at 7 pm, we don't get to punch out for 12 hours. Being a Mother is a round the clock job and Yes, that means even at night. My youngest son is now 10 months old and do you know the last time I slept more than 3 hrs straight???? I sure don't! One waking a night is nothing, enjoy the alone time. Babies wake for a reason!

Yeah, I know (from experience!) that that's not very helpful, but nothing at all worked for my youngest son. I had four perfect sleepers, waited 6.5 years to have our fifth baby, and then he was ROTTEN in term of sleep! Not only did I feel like I was starting all over again with child-rearing, I was doing it sleep-deprived! I have a number of crazy, give-me-sleep-or-give-me-a-coma posts on my blog for the first year of his life. Once he was weaned and a little bit older (about 11 months), he finally started sleeping. He's now almost 2 and is a pretty good sleeper. Sometimes I think they need to write books NOT about how to help kids cry it out, but how to help parents wait it out. At least with my son, that's all that helped. .-= Stacey @ Tree, Root, and Twig´s last blog ..<a href="http://treerootandtwig.com/2009/08/18/winner-carolina-pad-fashionable-school-supplies/" rel="nofollow">WINNER: Carolina Pad Fashionable School Supplies</a> =-.

I just don't know what to tell you. I had fat babies who were easily Babywise-d and people spit on me when I tell them that, so I am only confiding online where you cannot spit. I am praying for you, though. I know it's frustrating and you are doing the right thing trying new options and asking for advice. I hope you find what works perfectly for your family. Maybe one day, you too will be spat upon for your happy ending. .-= Hillary @ The Other Mama´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.theothermama.com/2009/08/facebook-friend-or-foe.html" rel="nofollow">Facebook: Friend or Foe?</a> =-.
