just wondered how old your baby is?

good luck with trying it, we did it and i definitely feel it improved our situation... when my dd was little she only slept in my arms day AND night, it was a disaster....

the one thing i can say is make sure you give it a good shot, yes it is going to be hard, but give it a few days, think of how the current situation isn't working and let it motivate you to give this method a real shot... it is very easy to pack it in cos the crying is upsetting, but at the end of the day if bubs is fed, clean, warm, comfy etc, and is just plain tired, a bit of crying while they learn to go to sleep is definitely not the end of the world, and if after a week or so you come out of it all getting better sleep, then imagine how much better you are going to feel...

good luck, ignore anyone who tells you otherwise, they are not in your situation, and a little bit of crying while your baby is warm and safe in his/her own bed in her own environment with mum and dad comforting every so often is no cause of anything nasty later down the track.... sleepless nights, exhaustion, a baby not sleeping/thriving/eating well and stressed to the max parents is of far more concern...

good luck!!
