So, what do you think of the “let them cry it out” approach?
Posted by: | CommentsWhen my second daughter had colic I was told to just let her cry herself to exhaustion. I couldn’t do that so I did research a found some useful tools in calming her. And now that my daughter is 8 months old she wakes up in the middle of the night crying, I tend to her. I was told to let her cry herself to sleep. But she’ll cry for hours before that happens. I can’t bring myself to just let my daughter cry herself into a frenzy. So, what do you think? Have you let your baby/child cry it out? Do you believe the doctors are correct in telling parents to do this?

Is 15 months old enough to cry it out at night?
Posted by: | CommentsEvery night i rock my son to sleep or i lay with him until he is sleeping then i put him in his crib. My husband says that he is way to old for this and need to just cry it out. We tried last night and he cried for an hour so i just went and got him and it took another hour just to calm him down. What does everybody think?
I have a 1 month old and I am doing the cry it out method…is this okay to do at 1 month?
Posted by: | CommentsI don’t want o get in the habit of holding him because then he will depend on it when I put him down for a nap or for bed. I want him to get used to putting himself to sleep. Is this a bad thing to do at 1 month?

Posted by: | CommentsMy 8 month old baby, doesn’t sleep in her crib, unless she is already asleep either in my arms or her bouncer with a bottle in her mouth. Is that a bad habitat, letting her sleep in the bouncer first with a bottle. I tried letting her cry in her crib, but she cries for hours. what can i do .
thanks
Have you done it, and if you have, how long did you let him cry for. Did they ever sooth themselves
should I let my 9 month old cry it out if I know she is just controlling me? ?
Posted by: | CommentsAs soon as I grab her she stops crying and smiles or if I get on the floor with her to play she stops crying. I don’t leave her alone, but she likes me to be with her on the floor vs sitting working close by. Any suggestions?
I have tried the playpen thing and it won’t work…all she wants is for me to hold her. She’ll sleep for a long time with me. I am going back to work soon and am lost on what to do so she will sleep alone. I’m sure daycare won’t hold her. Will she grow out of this?
Do you think the cry it out method is a good way to get your child to go to sleep?
