Ferber. Night 1!

Judson has been waking up a lot more, so I'm using the Ferber method to get him to feed only once during the night. Here's my plan: Bedtime starts at 7, asleep by 7:30. 1st feeding allowed, midnight. Last night he woke at 11 and wanted to eat but we went back every 5-10 minutes to reassure him and he fussed until I finally fed him at 12. He woke at 2:30 and we did the same reassuring without picking him up (just putting the paci in) and he was back asleep by 3 am. He slept till 5:45 when he was completely busted out of his swaddle and happily kicking the crib railings! Going to attempt morning nap at 8 or 8:30.
