[QUOTE="Lil, post: 733745, member: 17309"] I rocked my son to sleep every night with a bottle (of water). I tried to put him in his crib and did the "let him cry and check on him in 5 minutes" thing. But he'd work himself up into such a state he'd PUKE all over! Then I had a hysterical baby that needed bathed and a bed change too. I was single. Rocking was much easier. So I rocked and sang. When he was older I went from crib to twin bed on a bunky board instead of a toddler bed. Then I'd lay down with him and sing to him until he went to sleep. That was no easy task, given that he had to have all his books and toys in his bed with him. LOL And of course, there were the times when I'd run out of songs because it took so long. [I]"Another different song Mama"[/I] over and over. There were times I'd sing the Thomas the Tank Engine theme, replacing Thomas with all the other engines and cars, and I'd sing all the lullabies, and all the Christmas Carols, and all the 70's and 80's country and soft rock ballads I could remember...:sleep: He was not easy.
