I have been telling my husband for the past two months now that we need to start letting her cry it out. Last night she got up at 1am and I gave her a bottle, I heard her wake up at 2am and I didn't go to her. She cried for about 45 minutes and I laid in bed with my pillow over my head. She did fall back asleep and slept until 6:30am. YES!!! My goal is to have her wake up just one time per night and I will eventually stop going to her in the middle of the night. When she is crying I keep telling myself that I am teaching her a valuable skill by learning to fall asleep by herself (which I truly believe). Good luck, it is pure torture, but I know will be worth it...

Poor you, it will be a hard time if you want...Lisa! Poor you, it will be a hard time if you want to let Tatum cry it out, I think! :)<BR/>When Szabi was under 1 yr we used to let him cry it out for a few minutes then went back to him, stroking his back and head... of course he started to cry in that minute when I start to leave his room. (I remember that there ws a night when he cried for 2,5 hours, okay with breaks, but it was very hard... but this night was the worst, the others were much more better!)So th ecryig out-thing was not as hard as I tought at first. The big breakthrough came when Szabi was sick (he was about 1 yrs old) and he slept nearly all day, there was no need for the stroke and after he got well I simply put him in his bed after he got his formula, I told a not too long tale (it is very rhythmy), I tell him this one every night while he is brushing his teeth in his crib, then I say good night to him and go out and close the door. Most of the time it works, he falls asleep without crying, there is a few soft toys in his crib if he is boring he starts to play with them. Of course there are relapses :))))) I think the most important thing is the ritual and the time for bed... And I don't leave him to sleep after 3 pm (he used to have a nap at 12-3 pm and go to bed at 8 pm)<BR/><BR/>Good luck to the crying out if you are brave enough! :))))))<BR/><BR/>Love, KatiKatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582441895228979117noreply@blogger.com
