Starting Ferber method tonight at 8. A plunge into madness to restore some sanity - Julie isn't sure if she can do this, but when she found out it was just extinction she accepted that it works. We came up with some rules so as to not kill my bedtime, but I need to prepare for it to die anyway. My schedule isn't ideal for corrections, but it isn't as bad as it could be. I'll manage. Today's task is stocking up on Red Bulls.

The bedtime's been creeping forward anyway, of course, but the school has a break in late February that I hoped to make it to. One correction every two months is the dream, but once each month always seems to be the reality.

Ferber works. Be strong.

i remember when comments had subject lines.

i never did like the taste of red bull; i was glad when an alternative came out in the form of monster; i like the name and its mutable evocation.

i don't know the first thing about babies, but the episode of mad about you on ferberizing (season 6's "the conversation") is one of my favorite television moments; they filmed a 20 minute conversation outside the baby's room in a single take.

best wishes.

I wish we had tried something like this a lot earlier. My cousin did it after 3 months, but she couldn't handle the screaming. Their solution was for her to leave the house during the first hour. It worked after about a week.
