One thing that worked for us (and really, they are your kids, but figured I'd put it out there): the hubby did anything overnight that had been previously a snack time. This seemed to work since if I went in and didn't feed him, he got seriously ticked off. He didn't associate food with dad as much, so he tended to calm a little bit sooner. Once he understood he wasn't getting fed overnight in order to fall back to sleep, I could do any middle of the night soothing without him expecting a mommy snack. <br/><br/>Good luck on night two! It really does only get easier once you start to realize all those associations they have to going to sleep. Commiting to the process is often the hardest part!
