Thanks for sharing, Willow5. I like the conclusion re CIO strategies lol. I found it to be true. When I read books like Pinky McKay's, I didn't really get a solution for a getting a good nights sleep, but I felt so much better and believed in my ability more. I was confident that I was doing what my baby needed and responding to their cries was the right thing to do. Without that reassurance, I have no doubt that that stage would have been so much harder.
