Zofia is now sleeping through the night! I finally had to take action, we were getting exhausted. She had escalated so that by last week she was waking up to nurse about every 2 hours. Something had to give. I bought a book called Good Night Sleep Tight which suggests a variation on the "cry it out" technique, where you let the baby cry, but sit right next to the crib so she knows she hasn't been abandoned. Every 3 nights you move the chair further away until you are out the door.
The first time she cried for an hour and fifteen minutes, and I about died! The next time she only cried for 30 minutes and after that only 10 minutes. On the third night she slept from 7:30 pm to 6 am!!!!! WHOOOOPEEE!
Here she is the other night after having cried for about 10 minutes. She collapsed like this and fell fast asleep. Notice that her cheek is resting on her right foot!
