I leave Caitlyn alone to cry for 2 mins then I go in and check on her and pick her up give her a quick cuddle to settle her, then put her down again. Then I leave her for 5 mins, go in and check on her etc etc. I make sure she has had everything - feed, change etc etc and if there is nothing more I can do for her....she needs to settle herself.
Unless of course she gets into that whole hold breath, red face crying - then I have to do something!! I just have to figure out what!
