By using Julia’s sleeping plan with our second child things went quite differently. We were able to get her to sleep through the night after 6 weeks! I would highly recommend using Julia’s sleeping plan for your baby. It would greatly benefit family life as a good night’s sleep is very important to the well being of each family member!
Short term pain = long term gain. I remember it being a bit tough at first but then the babies slept so well!! More sleep for mamma = happy mamma = happy family.
I was flexible with each child and with the simple instructions I was able to be a better wife and mom due to following the basic premise of a parent directed feeding schedule. I noticed the kids felt more secure and calmer knowing their mom was in charge of when they ate and they didn’t need to cry to be fed. I would encourage all moms to try this method and make modifications for each child as all children are different and unique.
With the twins, the schedule was really the best. Working with the babies, I got them on the same schedule so that my day was much more organized and I had time for housework as well as more time to spend with the rest of my children. Putting them in their bed awake was key since they would soothe themselves and easily fall back to sleep. If I had not worked with them in getting into this routine, they would have been on different schedules.
