I hate the "let him cry" thing too. My DS has only started sleeping through in the last couple of months (he's 19 months old now) and he was still getting an o/n bottle up until about 3 months ago. I just could not bear him crying for me in the dark by himself, the thought of him wondering why Mummy or Daddy didn't come for him made my heart break. Yes, maybe if we'd done the CC thing he would have slept through earlier but he got it eventually and in his own time. He has had a couple of bad nights this week but he has molars coming through so still needs a cuddle for comfort and reassurance and even though I'm tired and fat he still gets a snuggle from Mummy.When we are sitting together in the rocking chair in the dark and the baby kicks him in the back and he giggles it's all worth it. He's comforted and goes back to sleep without all that distress of crying himself to sleep.

I suppose CC works for some people but it wasn't for us.

Bubs WILL sleep through, it just takes time for some that's all...
