I know just how you feel, it is really hard. But you know he's fed, changed and burped and he will be ok, trust me So many of my friends say they wish they'd taught self-settling at an early age as now their kids won't sleep! Liana has had a bad day today and has woken up during her 'naps' and needed re-settling. I'm not sure how long it will take until she can re-settle herself but we are sticking with it for now. It is so much harder to cuddle/bounce a baby to sleep! We were at the stage where she wouldn't sleep from around 8pm - midnight and then at midnight I would let her sleep on my chest on the couch for 3-4 hrs, so I was just getting no sleep at all. I wish we'd started the self-settling about 3 weeks ago!! Good luck
