In reply to Julie. Hi Julie, Hang in there, I know it can be tough. Sounds like sleeptime is slowly improving. Just remember that consistency is key and keep doing what you're doing even through that 2 am wake up.

I am not sure if my son (5 months) is slow to adapt. I know my husband is very much a creature of habit and hates change. We kept our son on a 3 hour feeding rhythm for the first 4 months but it’s hard to keep things consistent when they are going through so many changes. We have been sleep training him (with your advice) for about 2 weeks now and while the 7pm bedtime has improved, he still is WIDE awake at 2am and takes 30-60 minutes to get back to sleep.

My kids love and thrive on routines, but I only really consider them slow to adapt when it comes to sleep! Both have their own little internal schedules that can’t seem to be budged no matter what I do. My daughter is 4 now and still wakes at the same time no matter when I put her down. My son is almost 17 months and is the same way, and unfortunately his wake time is 5am no matter what. Maybe this isn’t considered unadaptability, just stubbornness? 🙂

Our son is slow- to – adapt, but moderately so at least as far as we can tell at this point. However, I am extremely slow to adapt, it will be interesting to see where he falls.
