Goals for sleep training

Okay, I'm tired of waking up in the middle of the night, and giving in to Geddy, both for nursing, and for co-sleeping. So we're starting sleep training tonight!

Goals for sleep training by Dec 1
Sleep in crib all night
Only nurse once a night after 4 am

Strategy for tonight
Same bedtime routine, still nurse him
Make sure he goes in crib awake
Sit in armchair, pick him up if he's crying hard
If he's not crying hard, just pat him on the back
If he's standing up, lay him down. Might have to do this 30 times.

In the middle of the night:
Before 4 am: give him a drink of water, lay him down, if he cries, pick him up.
After 4 am: nurse him
