Awww hun, you're doing a great job. Your last post there struck a few chords with me with regards to your friend letting her little one cry it out and thinking you should do the same. Stick to your guns. I read somewhere that crying it out is a short term gain for a long term loss. What we are doing is a short term (loss of sleep!!) problem for a long term gain!
I'm sorry to hear that DH isn't more supportive.... just keep reminding him it won't last forever.
Keep at it hun, your little man will surprise you one night by sleeping a long stretch and then you'll freak out and keep checking to make sure he is ok!
Nothing like a friend with a baby that sleeps all night thats to CIO is there?? hahah I've got one of those with a 'good baby'.
I try to remind myself when someone gives me a glowing report on CIO - is that we invite these babies (because thats exactly what a 4 month old is - a bitty baby) into our lives by conceiving them, we accept their entire dependance on us, by feeding them, changing them, carrying them yet, when it comes to sleep we expect them to develop into sleeping adults overnight by screaming. Just doesn't make sense to me
Trust your heart and let your baby be your book xxxx
