How long should I let my 6 month old cry it out before I pick him up?
Posted by: | CommentsI really don’t want to spoil my child. He has been crying for about two hours now, and it’s really starting to tick me off. How much longer till I should go in there and see what is wrong? I’m trying to teach him to self sooth.
How has the “Cry It Out” method worked for you?
Posted by: | CommentsWe’ve been doing it for about 6 weeks now, and at times she only cries for 5 minutes. Other times she’ll cry for 30 minutes, and it seems like we’re starting the method all over again! I personally cannot leave her for more than 30 minutes. After that, I’ll go in comfort her, breast feed her and try again. Usually after that she’ll go down fairly quickly. Anyone else find the method is only good 60% of the time? What about people with older babies… does it get better? We have a 4 year old and until he was 2, he got up every hour. We never did the “cry it out” method with him, but wished we had.
Our Daughter is currently 6 months old.
She only has it at nap time and bed time. She drinks everything but milk in her cup during the day. I tried giving her a sippy cup with milk but she just keeps crying. Should I just let her cry or what? I hate when she cries =(
Anyone let their baby cry it out for naps?
Posted by: | CommentsI want to hear your stories. How do you do it? How long? Any information would be helpful, thanks.
P.S. I am not asking for opinions on whether you agree or disagree with this so leave your negative remarks out or you will be promptly reported.
-I’m not trying to be rude with the PS but I am asking an honest question and I dont want to hear that I’m a bad parent for asking this question. There are a lot of trolls on here.
We already leave the light on for him until he is sleeping… I know I shouldn’t be doing that either. I just need to here from other people that it’s okay to let him cry this out.
what do you think about the cry it out method?
Posted by: | Commentshi thanks for taking the time to answer my question. the thing is i have NOT attempted this method yet. my daughter is 8 1/2months old .my first child . and i pick her up when she crys and dont want to put her in her crib to cry her self to sleeplike a lot of first time moms proibily do. i have tryed to do every thing by the book . and it says when they are very younger that the cry it out method is rong because there too young to understand .. so now that shes a bit older she is use to my picking her up when she wants me. and wont fall asleep unlessin my arms .but my husband and my mom are telling me i need to put her in her crib and even if it takes 2 hours of screaming to leave her untill she falls asleep. and dont pick her up every time she crys.now initially your not to use the method because it’s causes insecurity. so now that shes secure in that fact that i’m there for her . wont it just reverce it all . if all of a sudden i stop picking her up
she does sleep in her crib after she falls to sleep in my arms.,
Should I let my eleven month old cry it out?
Posted by: | CommentsIs it too late to teach an eleven month old to sleep on her own? Should I let her cry it out?
And, when I say cry it out, I mean that you would do this after a soothing bedtime routine, and only for a few minutes before going in to soothe the baby. Then you would leave again for several minutes & continue repeating the procedure until the baby eventually falls asleep.
for moms who let their child cry it out or do controlled crying?

Whats your opinion on the cry it out method?
Posted by: | CommentsIf your baby is not wanting to go to sleep do you pick him/her up and try something else or let baby have a good cry. What are your thoughts?
my daughter gets cuddled and feed to sleep. thats not to say im against letting bubs cry it out, its just not the right option for us. Just curious how other mums do it.
