Making Sleeping Progress

We have been making some progress with Callum's sleep. He's definitely going to sleep easier for both naps and at nighttime. Although, he still cries when put in his Pack N Play, more so at naps than bed, he isn't getting as upset about being placed down to go to sleep. The crying has gone from an hour (brutal!) to 15 minutes. Last night at bed, he didn't cry at all and fell asleep in about 5 minutes! We check on him frequently to make sure that he is alright when he is crying and overall I am handling the whole thing a bit better than in the beginning. It is terrible to listen to your baby cry but his sleep and well being is the most important thing. He is now getting several hours of uninterrupted sleep during the day AND at night. The past two nights, he slept a total of 8 hours- five of those consecutively- which means that Mom is also getting 8 hours of sleep. We will keep persevering through this challenge.
