Juliet used to just go right to sleep. We rocked her for a minute or two, put her down and that was it. Easy. I know we were supposed to let her fall asleep on her own, but I have always loved rocking her. It was one of my favorite times of the day. Now things have changed. I dread it because Juliet does not like to sleep. She fights it and gets upset when she knows it is nap time. If she wakes up she has to be rocked back to sleep and ever so carefully placed in her crib. Today she refused to take her afternoon nap until she fell asleep on my shoulder at 4:15. I know we need to sleep train, but I don't know if I can let her cry it out. We tried it once for two naps and it was one of the worst days in my life. Everyone tells me it is hard, but so worth it in the end. I am just not so sure it is right for us, so I don't know what to do. Sigh.
