Me, I'm the zombie, not this sweet boy in the picture;) haha Anyway, my kids have all slept through the night at 3 or 4 weeks old. But ever since our baby boy had surgery, he has NOT slept longer than 3 hours. I'm wondering if the anesthesia messed up his system cause he was such an excellent little sleeper. It is killing me. We've thought about the cry it out method, but at first he was recovering from his surgery, then we were at families' homes for holidays, and then he got the croup till this week. And so here we are, 2 months of multi-interrupted sleep. I guess if I can get him over his current cough, I can let him cry. But I didn't have to do it with the first two & am not sure how to do it without him waking up the girls, too. Plus he's just so dang cute! He gives us this sweet little smile at all hours of the night. I'm at a loss what to do but know I've got to get sleep.

I hear you!
The best book that I have read about sleeping is called, "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child". You can get it pretty cheap on Half.com. It is so informative and it give great advice from birth to up to adolescence. I wished that I would have known about this book when we had Harrison because he didn't sleep through the night until he was 16 months old. (complete torture.)
Good luck! I know how rough it is, especially when they are so dang cute.
Geez it is so frustrating when they get up like that. My three year old thinks it's fun now to get up and come up into our bed at night. I have heard of that book also and I guess that it is awesome. I need to read it to. Good luck!
