At this glorious moment

DD is sleeping. The girl just refuses to nap, and getting her to fall asleep on her own for the night is another problem. The only thing that saves us from an impossibly Poor Tired Little Girl (PTLG) is that once she falls asleep for the night, she's out for 11-12 hours.

This is just really horrific. I hope none of the readers with kids younger or on the way have to face this.

Dammit, 7 minutes and she started crying again....

We have, but when we have tried to go in and comfort her she just keeps crying in an increasingly frantic way. One night after 15 minutes in our arms she still wouldn't calm down. That makes the idea of gradual extinction difficult to swallow, since it seems to have an adverse effect on this one.

corylus_unbound has mentioned alpha music, which will be tried today. But last night even as exhausted as she was there was still 45 minutes of crying before she went down for the night - after her 2 one hour cries-that-ought-to-have-been-naps.
