2 1/2 months

I only have 2 1/2 months till this baby is here. With that said I have started studying my babywise book. I'm a huge advocate on babywise. Its not for all people, but its defiantly for me. I feel much more at ease having my baby on a schedule.
Why I loved babywise-
I love Babywise because it helped me feel like I had a little control in my life during a time when I truly felt so many things were so much out of my control! I started following Babywise from day one with Kohen and really liked how it helped me to plan my day. The structure it provided helped me to feel more prepared and more confident as a first time mom. I felt like I actually had a plan that I could follow and could also be flexible when the need arose, such as a growth spurt or traveling, etc. I was able to stick to Babywise and troubleshoot the 45-minute intruder, middle of the night wakings, and dropping naps. It was HARD but I did it!
Because of my consistent devotion to Babywise, Kohen started sleeping through the night at 7-9 weeks and started sleeping 12-13 hours a night at 5-6 months. A little later than an "Angel Baby" but I will take it! Once he learned to self-soothe around 3 months of age, it was like our whole world opened up and I felt like myself again!When people are amazed at how well Kohen sleeps, I just tell them that he is a Babywise baby.
When other people tell me, "Oh you are so lucky your son is a good sleeper!" I say: "I am not lucky. I worked my butt off to train him to be a good sleeper and I am extremely proud of that!" Babywise is hard work but it is SO worth it in the end!

This is my story and like I said babywise is not for everyone!
