Sleeping Through The Night

[glatt]

I can't remember the specific age numbers, but I do remember that it would change. There would be stretches of time where they slept beautifully, and times that they wouldn't at all. And then when they got older, probably around 9 months to a year, we had to do the letting them cry thing so they could learn to settle down on their own.

My youngest is now 7 years old, and he still is a little afraid to be going to bed alone, or going upstairs alone, or going into the basement alone. He's a little clingy that way. No idea if our treatment of him as a baby had anything to do with it, because we treated his sister pretty much the same way, and she loves being alone.
