A Rough Morning!

Okay, so Kaden has always been a good sleeper, BUT he sometimes wakes up between 4:00 a.m and 5:00 a.m. wanting a bottle of milk, yes he still drinks from a bottle and he is almost 19 mo. old. He uses a sippy cup all day long, but when it comes to milk, he will only take it in a bottle. Weird, I know. Anyways, so he wants his bottle in the morning way too early. So we usualy go and get his bottle with just a few ounces to make him happy and he goes right back to sleep until 7:00 a.m. or 7:30 a.m. Well, I finally decided, which I should have done a long time ago, to do away with that early milk call. This morning Kaden woke up crying at 4:45 a.m. I let him cry for a couple minutes, then I went in to make sure he was okay and had his binky, then I left. He cried off and on for the next HOUR! Ryan and I were good. We never went back in. He FINALLY fell back to sleep. I think he wore himself out. I remember doing this with the Girls when they were younger too. It only took a couple of days for them to get the hint that we weren't coming in to feed them. So I am hoping that it will go that smoothly with Kaden. That hour of crying was sure hard on Mommy and Daddy. I never should have let it go this long! Lets hope for a good morning tomorrow!
