CIO Question...

Just curious (if you did the CIO method), how long did your LO cry on the first night? Second, third night?

I'm just trying to psyche myself up before we try it out.

    1 hour, 17 minutes, 7 minutes, 2 minutes.

    Now it's 0-30 seconds and then he's asleep.

    First night close to an hour, 4th night (last night) was 2 minutes. I don't remember the in between but it was not long enough that we even had to go in for the first check in, so less than 10 minutes.

    The first night I just wanted to give up. I hated it. Luckily DH was there and he went in a lot. When I went in I didn't want to leave her and wanted to just hold her. The first 2 nights were more crying while after that it turned into just whining. Good luck!

    The first two nights took 45 minutes to 1 hour

    After that it decreased.

    I would say about 1-1 1/2 weeks later she goes to bed super easy. There are some  nights though where she takes forever, but mostly it is just fussing.

    I think my kid fussed for about 18 minutes, and she almost always has to fuss for about 10 minutes before falling asleep. We never really had to deal with a full on crying. We never ended up doing any checks because LO never seemed to be in distress.

    We went from over an hour to under 5 minutes in 4 days. We never went over 10 minutes for checks. Last night he didnt cry at all. He looked at me and turned over and passed out. The first night is the hardest but the pay off is huge. A happier well rested baby and happy parents. GL!

    For us it was 30, 15, 5 and last night 0! I really psyched myself up to and had so much anxiety, but it worked! She even sleeps longer now! Good luck!!!

    We did sleep easy method. Basically like CIO.  She cried on and off for 30 mins night 1. My husband did check ins with that method. She seemed to cry more when I went in.  Almost two weeks later she fussed for 5 mins then goes to sleep.
