I totally understand where you are coming from girl!! CIO is what we have to do here as well. I also feel awful when we do it but we have tried other methods like going in every few minutes to comfort her and she starts to escalate from that point. If we let her CIO she cries for maybe 15 or 20 mins and falls asleep. If she wakes back we go in and comfort her and lay her back down and let her CIO again. If we go in while she is crying before going to sleep she will start to scream louder once you leave the room. I have to do what works for my kid because I can't have her in bed with us anymore once lo #2 comes! You are not a bad mommy you are doing what is right for your baby!!! Ignore the haters!!! Esp. Alicia...I'm honestly not sure why she is still on this board, everyone hates her!

First, congratulations!! In case I didn't say it before! That is so exciting!
second, thank you for your open and honest support. I never meant to stir things up like that, maybe that was naive of me? But I just needed support, regardless if people agreed with it or not.
Thank you for sharing your experience, I really think this is what Parker needs, and the fact that he just put himself to sleep tonight, on night two, proves that to me. (Even though I know it's only been two nights!)
i decided to modify the method a bit to what would work for us, and I won't let him go longer than 5 minutes or so, and I'll then stay in the room and pat his back for a minute or two and then repeat. I know it's a work in progress, but that consistency is key.
thank you again!
hugs!

11/1/2020 - At peace with where things are in life and are no long actively TTC. Whatever happens will happen and it will all be okay.
I understand where you are coming from...we don't really use "a method", I just try and give DS a chance to self sooth. Sometimes he cries, sometimes, he whines, and sometimes he is just fine.
The little stinker is so independent (like his mama) that trying to calm him down usually makes it worse.
You have to do what is right for you and your family...don't let people tell you what to do. Raising a kid is hard, anyone who says differently is in denial, or selling you something. Just try to remember that the hard things in life are usually worth it in the long run!
GL!
