no advice here either, because my dd has had challenges with sleeping from day 1 (actually day 2 according to my journal
She slept through the night in Guatemala, although only 9 hours a night (even at 3 mo. old) and her fm could never get her to nap, just catnap...
Nighttime was when (and still is, I believe) all of dd's fear, grief, sadness came out. She came home the week she turned 6 mos. old and grieved terribly; she cried 8 hours straight the first night of the pickup trip; it got better quickly, in terms of my ability to comfort her, but sleep was another story. For the first 6- 12 months she was home, she woke up every 45 minutes to 2 hours. I began to co-sleep "on purpose" after she had been home 3 months because even though she still woke up, I was able to comfort her and go back to sleep more quickly.
She's 3 1/2 now, and generally sleeps through the night. She was sleeping in her own bed for several months, but began waking and screaming again, so we are back to co-sleeping. I loved the No Cry Solution, and just read "Sleepless in America" and really liked it too...so there may be some more ideas for you, but basically, I figure this is the place my girl needs comfort and for me to be there...so I take naps with her on the weekend and drink coffee
I continue to focus on how connected we are, how I am always there for her, and how, one day, I'll miss the hours spent rocking in the dark and being able to just reach out and feel her breathe at night. Vent away; you are absolutely not alone.
