Reddit mentions of Cozy Fleece Inc.- Microplush Fitted Crib Sheet (2) Pale Blue and Dark Blue

I had to do cold turkey on the swaddle because I refuse to buy any more contraptions. It was rough, and almost broke me. We got down to waking up every hour, on the hour and I just about lost my mind. I was never against cry it out or any sleep training, but my boy was not old enough yet to do it so I didn't think anything of it. But in the last 2 weeks I was so stressed an tired that I was taking it out on my husband, starting fights and shit. So I decided that mommy needs some sleep and we are gonna make it happen. Monday night was night 1 of cry it out. Kiddo was asleep in 18 minutes (went in to soothe him 3 times in 5 min intervals, only stayed 1 minute and never picked him up). He had a few wake-ups but did much better than usual. Night 2 it took 22 minutes to get to sleep, but then he slept through the night. I repeat, he slept through the night. I did a dream feed at 3am because I was engorged, but he slept through that too.

I feel like a fucking badass because it worked and for the first time in like 6 months, I feel like a normal person at work. Sleep training and CIO doesn't work for everyone, but it has worked wonders so far for us. And baby was much happier and more smiley this morning which is a help.

I also started putting him down on a fleece blanket in his crib, which I have tucked really well under his mattress. I know that isn't super safe, but I did it for a while just during the day and he never managed to get it loose so I think it's ok for night time too (esp since I was in his room once an hour anyway). Now that I won't have to check on him every 60 minutes, I've bought some of these which might also help you.
