We all sound very similar. The in home consultation was excellent for helping me get a plan of attack, but importantly, it also helped bring my dh into the picture a bit more (I insisted he was there for the whole consultation). This meant that if she wasn't settling for me, he knew how to help more while keeping in with our plan. It was a big step for us.

I am worried about how I will go second time around, because I plan to practice attachment parenting, but I know it can get so tiring and difficult, especially when there is only you home all day, and awake all night. I think you have to do whatever feels right. I remember telling my advisor that I don't believe in controlled crying, so I made sure we were onthe same page before she came over.

It's so hard when sleep becomes a battle!
