People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one.
Leo J. Burke

The baby slept in her own room for the first time today. Granted it was only for 6 minutes but she was in there, alone, just the same. We have been having alot of difficulties getting her to sleep on a regular basis so my wife is getting ready to try to follow a sleep schedule with the baby. It is going to be interesting to see how that works out.
Getting our baby to try and sleep on a schedule is really going to take a lot of commitment from both my wife and I. The baby seems to sleep whenever she feels like it now, but the book says that we need to get her into a routine. I am not too sure we need to mess with a good thing. Our daughter just turned ten weeks old, she sleeps a lot, maybe not on a regular schedule but it seems that most days she gets enough sleep.
It seems that as new parents we are falling into the 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" trap occasionally. Of course, there really is no fault with that because no one is ever giving us anymore than a little knowledge. As new parents you feel your way through a lot of things. You try things, if they work great, if not then you try something else. Babies will eventually sleep through the night, all people eventually sleep through the night.
It's going to be like everything else, it will happen when the baby decides it's time. Hopefully, her parents can make it until then.
