just to add that CC IS VERY hard for us as parents... but you have to just bear with it, and not give in and feed them etc... this is what I did:
we get into our PJ's.. and we just wind down on the couch together for a hour or so before bed time (which is 7pm)... just a quiet feed, with the lights down low... and not to much talking... and cuddle together... then she give daddy a kiss... and we say goodnight...then its off to bed ....
I give her a kiss, say goodnight...put her down, and cover her up... and walk out and close the door most of the way closed...
If she cries, I wait 5 minutes .... go in calm her, DONT pick her up... just lay her back down, and say goodnight, and cover her up..then walk out and close the door most of the way closed again!...
Then if she cries I wait 6 minutes...then do the same again... but honestly she got to two minutes the second time round, and was SOUND asleep!!
I agree its SOOOO HARD!! especially when you really WANT to go in and cuddle them, and kiss them and tell them its okay.. but you have to be strong, and it will pay off.
