We are changing Jaylen's bedtime routine this week and up until right now it was going awesome. She's learning to put herself to sleep instead of falling asleep while taking her last bottle. The first 3 nights in a row she did wonderful and was asleep in less than 20 minutes with very minimal crying. Tonight though..........completely different story. I hope she doesn't hate us in the morning.........

I know it's tough! But I promise she will still love you in the morning!
Oh wow, I remember those days...they are hard. The good news is that she won't remember, and you will still get your bright eyed loving baby reaching out for you in the morning. :) Hang in there...I hope her opposition is short lived...
We have done that with Cole, too, and it is very hard, but he is still smiley the next day, so I don't think he hates us. There were those nights where he absolutely cried very hard, though and they are SO hard on parents (especially mom), too. You are teaching her a valuable skill and remember that by training her to do this you will give her the gift of getting to sleep better for the rest of her life. The end justifies the means!:) Hang in there!
Proud of you two & your parenting skills. You're doing the right thing for her!
