Luke wakes every morning at 7:45. EVERY morning! Regardless of what time he goes to bed. The issue is bedtime. I'm guilty of creating this problem, nursing him to bed every night. The problem is that he'll nurse anywhere from 20 mins to an hour, usually closer to the 30-40 minute mark. And then, he'll wake up a few more times after putting him in his bed and we rock him back to sleep, about 5-10 mins each time(again, another problem we created!). Last night he woke up 4 times before finally staying asleep! So that was 40 minutes to put him down initially and then another 30-40 minutes of rocking, collectively.
This is the thing, he takes 5 naps a day, each falling asleep without our help AT ALL. We put him to bed with his GloSeaHorse and he knocks out right after it turns off, easy! Why can't he do this at night?!?! We've attempted it and FAIL.
Tonight starts a new night of trying something new. No more rocking! Trying to teach him to fall asleep on his own. Hopefully it takes only a few days to fix as the Baby Whisperer suggests.
Please, if you have any suggestions, drop a comment. I'd love to hear how you handled, or would handle, this.

I'm a wife to the most kind and loving husband ever, a mother to two of the most beautiful baby boys you'll ever meet (Lucas, DOB 8/29/09 and Logan, DOB 12/20/11), a children's social worker by day and a photographer by night (more like, weekend). I love to bake and only cook because we need to eat. If I relied on my dear hubby to cook for us, we'd be eating bean and cheese burritos or quesadillas for dinner every night! There are so many things that I love, but most importantly, I love being a wife and mother and this is the place where I can document our life, mostly in photographs, today.
