Merrill's first night sleep training

Last night, our goal was to completely night wean Geddy. So we put a mattress down in Geddy's room, and Merrill spent the entire night with him. We started our bedtime routine at 7:45, with me giving him a bath, and putting on his PJs. I then nursed him, then we turned on his star nightlight and I read to him. Merrill then came into the room, and we both laid down on the mattress with Geddy between us, and we rubbed his belly until he fell asleep at 8:45 pm. Merrill moved him to his crib after 5 min.

At 11 pm, he woke up, and Merrill was able to get him back to sleep in his crib by rubbing his belly. But he kept on waking up every 10 min or so. Between 11 and midnight, he woke up 3 times. He wouldn't drink any water. He finally fell asleep with Merrill on the mattress.

He also woke up at 3:30 and 5:30, and woke for the day at 6:50 am.
