Below is the document that we decided to make in order to be prepared for T's 6 month doctor's appt. on Friday. It is seriously depressing. Mr. T. tricks us every time. Last night we went in there because he was crying and he appeared to be entirely asleep. It was a little creepy.
Sleep Notes
What we have tried:
Early bedtimes
Falling asleep on own for naps and bedtime (he does this)
Feed-on-demand
Dream feed
Eliminating feeding (one of three)
Not feeding close to sleep times
Bottle at first feeding of the night (both parents)
Starting solid food
Water
Reducing milk volume at night
Feeding frequently during the day
Controlled crying
Rocking
Comforting in crib
Having father comfort only
White noise
Music
Regulating temperature
Transitional object
Comfortable bedding
Pacifier
Swaddle (tried on and off)
Inclined Crib
Co-sleeping
Prilosec at 10PM
Consistent naps (Three consistent, consolidated naps daily)
Prayer
Magical Thinking
Alcohol (father, not child or mother)
Crying and Cursing
Current Routine (always the same):
6:30pm: Bath
7:00pm: Breastfeed
7:10pm: Story
7:15pm: Put in crib drowsy but awake

Oh Katie, I wish I were an experienced mommy and could offer some helpful suggestions. Sadly, I am totally clueless. I AM sending you lots of love and good vibes though. I hope that your pediatrician can provide you with some good information. For what it is worth, I believe in you!! Maybe T will never sneak out when he is a teenager to make up for all the sleepless nights now. :) Hugs!!
