Ferber method, take 1

Started last night
During the first wait, googled it
Ferber method:
Wait 3. Then 5, then 10 minutes.
Day 2: add 12 minute interval and continue.

We did every 10 last night. He cried for about 30 min. Slept until 3:30am. (he usually wakes up around 11:30-1:00)
First nap today- I did every 3. He cried for 1.5 hours. Heartbreaking. I picked him up and fed him lunch, along with L and me.

Both times he fell asleep and woke up and couldn't put himself back to sleep.

Thought I was doing well but I noticed that i had a headache. Took an Advil. We both fell asleep on the nursing chair for before his second nap. I got up and put him in the crib. A cry when his body touched the mattress but then he fell asleep.

Second nap: he's still asleep. Its been two hours. Guess he's super tired from all this crying.

I just woke up. A much needed nap. Will do my best to stick to it for at least 7 days.

This shit is hard.
