Whether it was simply revenge for taking him to the cocktail party or, more likely, a blog jinx, Doodles is back to ’round the clock sleeping problems. So last night, we did the unthinkable: we started to Ferberize. It was painful and it involved hours of crying and Doodles was upset, too, but he was in his crib all night. But tonight he’s outsmarted us–he has a fever and you can’t Ferberize when he’s sick (for starters, he needs more fluids so feeding at night is not only okay, but necessary; also he looks so pathetic that I can’t help but keep him in my arms all night). In fact, I’m back to typing one handed because he’s back asleep on me, which he hasn’t done in a while. So we’re going to have to start all over with Ferber again in a couple of nights.
