Braden'sMama

So.. as you all know, Braden wasn't sleeping very well at all. We had been putting him in bed with us for a long time and letting him fall asleep in our bed. But it wasn't helping him sleep through the night anymore. He kept waking up and wanting to play and wouldn't go back to sleep for forever. So, I decided to make him stay in his bed during the night. When he would wake up I would pat his bum and then let him cry.. and he would be asleep before he ever even cried for 20 minutes. This was great however... he was still waking up multiple times a night. We were still letting him fall asleep in our bed and then we would move him when we went to bed. So, we started putting him to bed in his crib and I put a radio in his room. Alot of his problem is that he wakes up and freaks out because he has such seperation anxiety/scared that he freaks when we're not there. Well... the radio has helped!!! He doesn't wake up or if he does... he's calm because of the music and goes right back to sleep on his own! So... he's now sleeping in his crib and has been sleeping all night. Every once in awhile he'll wake up and cry once but I just go in so he knows I'm here and then let him cry for a little bit and he goes to sleep. It is sooooo nice!
