In the early days, Caden was a living nightmare! He would scream and scream especially at the end of the day. Ok, we went to Ngala and did a teensy bit of CC - although I rush to add that it wasn't really CC in that he was crying anyway, the difference was that I wasn't holding him so it is not as if I was causing him distress that he wouldn't have been in anyway (needless justification...). Anyhoo, it all worked out in the end and he has been a dream sleeper since. Even when he is sick and/or upset, I don't use CC. I simply calm him down, say good night, and pop him back into bed. You know what? if he keeps crying, I simply get him up again and distract him for a bit.
Like Trish said - consistency is key! I find that a routine, such as brush teeth, dinner, bed, works well. And if he wakes now in the night it is just try anything (other than giving him milk) to get him to sleep.
Hugs hun, it is rough going but I promise it gets better!
As for us, not much going on. Had an interview today for the promotion at work. Feeling about 50/50 that I will get through to the next stage. They are interviewing 6 out of 70 applicants, so I should feel good that I got this far. TBH I am not sure if I am ready for a promotion yet, on account of the full-time hours. My ideal is that DH gets a decent full time job and I can tick away on 3 days per week I guess time will tell...
Well, better go play with the mini-man before bed,
Thanks DB means alot that you shared your story and no need to justify yourself we all do what we beleive is right! Good luck with the promotion!
Saffi, thankls hun! How is the intergestion?

Saffi - yeah....there are loads of restaurants around there...seems to be a bit 'happening'....I didn't want to be bored...seeing as I'll probably be the only woman in Singapore raising my own child, may as well be where the action is!
