Sleep Training

Ever since Daniel oppa went to Denmark for a business trip, Ethan has been sleeping with me in the bed. Though he sleeps so well with us, we decided it was time for him to sleep in the crib again. Ethan really likes to move around in his sleep, so it has been difficult sharing the full size bed with him these past couple of weeks. The bed is not big enough for all three of us! Also, since we're thinking of putting him in daycare starting August, we thought it would be better for him to learn to fall asleep on his own so that he doesn't have a hard time taking naps at daycare.

Today, after his bath and last feeding, we put him in the crib and let him cry it out. Daniel oppa peeked in the bedroom a couple of times and saw Ethan crawl from one side of the crib to the other, crying and looking around for us. =( Slowly, Ethan's crying became softer and less frequent until there was silence. It took 25 minutes for Ethan to fall asleep on his own tonight. Hopefully, it'll take less time tomorrow.
