Bed Time Boot Camp!

Wish us luck! Bed Time Boot Camp starts tonight! After Baker's 2 month check-up yesterday (she is now 10.6 lbs, 21 3/4 inches long and I survived watching her get 3 shots), her pediatrician offered us some advice on getting Baker to go to bed like a good little girl. It has been a struggle for us the past two weeks. Each time we place her in her crib for bed, she screams for over an hour! It's so hard to listen to her cry that long, especially in such close quarters of the apartment. After an hour, we end up giving in and bringing her in our room. Here is our new plan of action! Most importantly, Lacy and I make a pack that we are going to stick to this plan and not give in, knowing that it could take 2 or more nights. We place her in her crib after her last feeding and set the timer for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes of crying we go into her room and say these words and only these words, "Night, night, love you". We cannot touch her, give her her pacifier, turn on her music..nothing at all except those words. We will then set the timer for 10 minutes, then 20 minutes. After that...NOTHING else will be done except listening to her cry! OH MY!! Can we handle this? I might need a glass of wine to get through this! We have to get this fixed before I go back to work.
