I know everyone has different opinions on sleep training. But for those of you who have done CIO, how long do you let lo cry before comforting. And what do you do for comfort? And how long total do you let them cry at night? Is it really going to last all night? Im already exhausted.

Tired new mom is desperate for help. Im open to advice as well.

    We actually started using CIO on the recommendation of our pediatrician at our 4 month check-up. I explained to her what bed time was like for us at night, and she really didn't like what she was hearing. She gave us two potential options, and CIO
