What we discovered is that our attempts to snuggle him and make him feel better to go to sleep were actually pissing him off. When he was 2 weeks old my husband convinced me to just give him 10 minutes to see what happened. What happened is that kid fell asleep in 5. He's been sleeping from 7pm - around 8am since he was 4 weeks old. He's 14 months now and really enjoys his own room and his bedtime. Whenever I put him in his crib, he looks at me, waves and says bye bye and lays down. So, yes we are firm believers in cry it out and don't think we have any abondonment issues from our son. I, however, sometimes would prefer to be a bit more needed. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3048278372262576135.post-19084741456710244732010-05-24T09:55:22.491-05:002010-05-24T09:55:22.491-05:00Thankfully we didn't have to CIO with my daugh...Thankfully we didn't have to CIO with my daughter, but I try to keep an open mind for people who choose this method because who knows, it might be the only thing that works for my next child!

But by the time she was 7 months old I was losing my mind with the way things were going (having to nurse/rock her for HOURS only to have her wake up as soon as I put her in bed) so I decided to do CIO. Things are now SO MUCH BETTER - I have my evenings back and she sleeps and naps great most of the time. It's so hard to make parenting decisions when you're worried about how each little thing will screw them up later on in life. I finally decided that while my mom used CIO on me, I am still a functional human and my kid will be ok.Brittany @ Germamahttp://www.germama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3048278372262576135.post-48139945879219526762010-05-20T08:51:12.659-05:002010-05-20T08:51:12.659-05:00good for you!!

My second did this exact thing - as soon as her head hit the matress she'd scream and I spent hours and hours and hours trying to get my baby to sleep. Some nights I'd have to let her scream in her bed while I went to my room to cry too. That child would scream for HOURS and HOURS! <br />Sometimes crying it out works, sometimes it doesn't.faith ann raiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15965450346393093534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3048278372262576135.post-79098697291127432172010-05-20T08:28:31.087-05:002010-05-20T08:28:31.087-05:00I'm glad you all found a successful solution.
