Cry it out?

So, I've been putting LO down for naps drowsy but awake lately. She'll cry the second I put her down and I go back every 10 minutes to pat her until she falls asleep. But how long do I repeat this method for? 30 minutes? 1 hour? Help!

  • Is she legit crying or fussing? That will determine my answer.

  • Was this not discussed a few days ago or in my recent sleep deprivation did I imagine that thread?

    In all seriousness OP it is not recommended to start CIO with LO this young. So what you do is pick her up and try again and keep trying until she doesn't cry. OMG 10 minutes must feel like an eternity to her, that breaks my heart.

    *Imma grab some popcorn to settle in for the show*

  • I might be in the minority in thinking Stefan is more dreamy though....

    I think they are both dreamy in different ways. HOT!

    I think it's short for oh really.

    He is one of the "originals" on vampire diaries. He has a hot accent too!
    Elijah. Nuff said.
  • Whoa whoa here. No need to attack. I may have titled this wrong. My child isn't screaming and I don't just let her cry endlessly. She fusses a little and I go pat her and she fell asleep after 20 minutes. First time I tried it was today cuz doc said to pat her instead of picking her up every time.

    Yup. Although if we are going straight looks is say Stefan. He is entirely too sensitive though.

    Man, I need to catch up on TVD. I stopped after the fourth episode this season.

  • I thought this was a joke. Also, no idea who those men are......
  • OP, we put Simon down drowsy. If he is just fussing, I will give him 5-10+ mins before I intervene (although realistically he either falls asleep or escalates to crying in that time). If he is actually crying, I give him maybe 1-2 mins before I pick him up to soothe back to the drowsy state (if he is crying hard, I go in right away....if he cries for a few secs and goes back to fussing, I may wait longer). We do this for as long as it takes to get him to sleep, or until its time to eat again. HTH

  • OP, I highly suggest picking up the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child. It'll give you more practical advice on what kind of sleep training is appropriate for a baby this age. 

    Personally, I don't think 10 minutes of protest crying is too much, depending on your baby's temperament... but I know the general feeling about CIO on this board, so I'm just gonna step away slowly.

  • clhathaway I love me some Gerard :)

    TVD and The Originals show are BOTH easy on the eyes in my opinion. I love all the eye candy! Damon is my favorite I have to say though and Klouse is next and so on and so forth ;)
  • I'm on team no tears. Pick up you baby and cuddle them. You don't get this time back.

    Also I need more pics of Ian. Kthanksbye!

    Way to make a girl blush ;)
  • So can we get a TVD/Originals gif thread for us all needing some hot eye candy or what?!
  • I call MUD… seriously??
