Extinction...

...slowly becomes "gradual extinction."

Which quickly becomes "controlled crying."

Which immediately becomes "get the child to sleep by whatever means necessary and try again tomorrow."

Training a baby how to sleep on her own blows.

Is all I'm sayin'.

  4. I don't agree with unnecessarily medicating a child, but sometimes, after three hours of middle-of-the-night playing, the Benedryl is the only thing that gets the job done. Good luck!
