My experiment worked! I got off work last night at 9pm, picked up Wyatt, went home and let him play and spent some time with him before brushing his gums (cause there's still no teeth), reading Goodnight Moon and putting him to bed.
He went right to sleep and stayed that way till 5am when he woke up wanting to eat. That's a solid 6+ hours! And with no screaming fit for me to survive. Plus once he ate, he went right back to sleep, though it was in my bed since I had to get up at 6:30am anyway, I figured he could sleep with mommy for an hour.
I'm so happy it worked and that he was a much happier baby. Tonight will be night 2 of the experiment and I'm hoping things will go just as smoothly. His fits are so rare and usually have such a specific reason behind them that this crying mess was really getting to me. It's nice to know that there is a reason he's in such a terrible mood some nights.
Let's hope this works from now on and I don't have to hit the drawing board again.
