Dr Ferber are you out there?

We have offically started "sleep training" using Dr. Ferber's book. Last night was really the first offical night. We have been using modified Ferber since last Friday, but I was weaning him off his middle of the night feedings by taking them down by an ounce each night until he has none. Last night, he has no feedings! We used the Day 2 of Ferber (since we have been using day 1 for a few days) which is 5, 10, 12 minute intervals. He went down drowsy but awake and didn't even cry! However, he did wake up about 1:30am and I had to use the 5, 10, but he fell asleep in the middle of the 12 minute wait. He woke again around 5am and I gave him the paci and he went back to sleep until about 6:45am. So tonight is Day 3 and we will see how it goes. I really hope this works because Mommy and Daddy have been without sleep for about 6 months too long!
