We used the sleep sense program (after 3 months) and it was a god send. It basically modifies cry it out: no going to bed asleep, sleepy yes, asleep no. To the point that we would wake him up after feeding so he could be 'awake'. Letting him cry for intervals before going in, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes etc. Calming him down then putting him back to sleep (if he's not hungry). Etc etc. It worked *really* well for us, to the point that at 7 months he was sleeping through the night (12 ish hours) and sleeps two 1-2 hour naps during the day (he's 11 months today). The problem is that we've lost that 'connection'. Hard to explain as a dad but he use to sleep on our chests in the afternoon and nap with us but if he isn't sleeping in his crib he's out and about. I guess maybe it's because we've associated 'crib' with 'sleep now' and the rest of the house with 'play time' or 'eat time' but if he's not in his crib there's no down time with us around in the same room. Is that something people who used no-cry experienced or just something that comes as they get older?
