Sleep training - Day four

I worked last night so I wasn't around for Lily's bedtime routine but Scott tells me that she went to bed around 6:30pm (after eating some supper with him) and woke at about 10pm for a bottle. She didn't have an third nap today but probably could have used one (she's fussy at 5pm but has a hard time settling to sleep at this time - I'm still not too sure about how to manage a third nap). She was sleeping when I got home at 11:30pm but woke when I dropped something and she heard my voice. I so badly wanted to go in to see her but I decided that it would likely be harmful to the habits that we are trying to create and I decided to let her be. She cried for about 5 minutes and went back to sleep. She woke this morning, not surprisingly, at 4am for a feed and at 6am for a diaper change. I'm feeling really good about the sleep training, despite the fact that it was so horrible the first night. I think that we may have broken Lily of her frequent nighttime wakings and I think that she has finally learned some self-soothing techniques for when she does wake up. All in all, I'm pretty happy that we went with "Cry it out" and I'd highly recommend it to anyone struggling with sleeping issues for their baby.
