Saga of Sleep, Week 1

Unbelievable. It's been 10 days since we started to let Faith sleep on her own, and we've had success everyday!
The first week was the hardest, because she cried for more than an hour each night, and when she woke up at night, she would cry again. It was the most stressful week ever and thought I would give up. But telling myself 'this is for her own good'.. that got me through each crying spell.
Now finally after 10 days, she sleeps at 6:30 p.m. and wakes up twelve hours after!
She actually napped well too and would often get more than four hours of naptime. That by itself was a big beautiful bonus. I could only get her to nap two hours a day prior to this. Of course, having a rigid schedule of wake, sleep, eat and play was the key --
Once awake at 6:30 a.m., I would get her and open her bedroom lights so she'd get that "morning light" effect. She'll have 4 oz. of milk, and then we'd play a little in our bedroom and watch Daddy get ready for work. At 7:30 a.m., I would give her breakfast and then soothe her to sleep with another 4 oz. of milk. She would nap for more than an hour and wake up around 10:30 a.m. That gives me time for myself (yehey! never used to have this too).
By 11:30 a.m,, she'll be eating lunch with us and at 12:30p.m. I'll soothe her to sleep again for an hour or two of nap. She's learned to ask for milk too, so when she wakes up in the afternoon, she'll say "de-de-de-de-" as a hunger cue.
5:30 p.m. is dinnertime, followed by a bath and then off to sleep she goes for the night.
