Hi Stephanie,

Sorry to hear of your sleep problems. I remember feeling totally exhausted

and overwhelmed, too. My son eventually outgrew it, and it helped that he

began to have overnight stays with his father, around 2.5 yrs. I also had

some success with the " power of suggestion " where I'd tell him, during the

day but especially as he nursed to sleep that he *could* sleep all night, he

didn't have to wake up, but if he did, I'd stil be here for him.

 

I have heard good reviews of a new book called No-Cry Sleep Solutions, I

think that's the name. Maybe there will be some suggestions in there?

 

Many people in your situation will night wean, off liquids altogether.

Maybe that's something to consider. I still am a bit concerned that it's

not healthy for Rhea to drink that much rice milk (even if it's only half

that, 10 oz is still a lot), and having it sit on her teeth. The carbs may

give her a restless sleep, too, depending on how she metabolizes it.

Good luck.
