It is horrible! So I'm stopping...for now. I just can't take it. We just bought a book called the No Cry Solution, so if that doesn't work, Chass, I may ask to read your book. Thanks for the support!Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358376606405861906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800167377540356384.post-31445786525640161692009-11-13T20:14:01.096-05:002009-11-13T20:14:01.096-05:00Oh...I am so sorry.

It did work for us but in all honesty it was never that long of a time maybe 25 mins was our max (maybe it will be yours too!) but I have heard others go an hour or more. And we only had about 3 days worth of crying and it was smooth sailing for the most part after that. And we have gotten in to groves with the perfect "we lay him down and he goes to sleep by himself" and then even recently we have times where all sorts of crazy breaks out and he is just ticked off when we put him down and he screams and slaps the crib. There are a MILLION books but honestly there is only one solution and that is the one that works for you and Eli. Try some things, but don't feel guilty. I didn't think I would do cry it out either but we did and it and it worked for us. (PS- I did like one book in particular, "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" - I will mail it to you if you want to borrow it?) Good luck- Any update since the first CIO night?CJRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07856153434749495162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800167377540356384.post-42062029253677826002009-11-10T22:26:54.302-05:002009-11-10T22:26:54.302-05:00Oh sister.

I kid you not, he started waking up every hour. It got down to one night, he was up every half hour. We tried the same method you did. We also tried the Ferber method. Which worked for awhile. And I know that for many kids it works like a charm. He has a book, if you are interested.<br /><br /> Ultimately, he outgrew it. Now my darling son sleeps 12 hours a night and takes 2.5 hour naps. So, it does change at some point. But while you are there it is like your very own personal hell. I feel for you.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07413506420282685011noreply@blogger.com
