Jonathan Sleep Training

Jonathan likes to hold something when he sleeps or eats.  It is usually the collar of my shirt, but he managed to find the edge of a blanket instead.

A couple days ago I commented to Ryan that I couldn't keep nursing so often especially at night and his response was, "I guess it is time to let him cry."  I don't know why that hadn't crossed my mind with Jonathan.  So I setup the pack n play in the playroom and put him to sleep there.  My goal was to have him not eat midnight to 5.
Night One:
The first night I woke up to him crying at 2am and totally forgot my goal, fed him and went back to sleep.  Then when he woke up again at 4am I let him cry.  And cry he did.  From 4 to 5:30 when I fed him again and he went back to sleep.  Not so successful.
Night Two:
The next night he went down at 8.  Woke up at 11:45 and ate then went back to sleep.  Woke up at 3:30am and went through a couple cycles of putting the pacifier back in before I decided to just close the door and let him cry.  I'm not sure how long he actually cried, but he didn't wake up until 7:30 AND he woke up happy and played on his own in the pack n play.  I can't remember him ever doing that.  I finished eating breakfast and folded some laundry before feeding him.  I tried to feed him both sides, but he burped up most of the second side so I'm thinking I won't do that again.
Night Three:
Jonathan went down at 9pm, I woke him up to feed him at midnight then he slept until 7am. I could get used to that.
