Cry it out??

in July 2013 Moms
My DD sleeps in bed with me and has now since she outgrew the rock and play around 4 months old. The problem is she doesn't always sleep good and wants to nurse all night long! I would love for her to sleep on her own in her crib but I don't think I can handle her crying. It would break my heart. She is also a very needy/demanding baby so I'm not sure the CIO method would even work. Any tips???

    Sleep the first year is extremely variable. Please see this for normal sleep in infants :

    https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/moral-landscapes/201302/normal-human-infant-sleep-feeding-method-and-development

    Research on brain development shows that babies don’t learn to self-soothe by being put down. They learn not to depend on others because no one will come when they call.

    Babies learn to self-soothe by being comforted, which teaches them not to panic, that their emotions are manageable. Being soothed when they cry actually changes the brain chemistry and neural connections so that babies learn to soothe themselves. Being left to cry changes brain chemistry and neural connections so that babies become more easily upset and less able to soothe themselves as time goes on. The amygdala can actually become permanently enlarged. Being soothed when upset is just as important to your baby's development as being fed and diapered.

    If you don't want to do CIO, then don't do it.


    Thank you for the advice! All I really wanted was to hear from moms who had gone through the same situation. I don't want to let my baby cry but everyone tells me I need to even her doctor.

    Do some research/reading on various methods and see what you're comfortable with. It's honestly hard to give much advice tailored to your situation without us knowing you or your little one. Like Liz said, what your baby is doing is normal....but I personally would try moving LO to the crib first before I tried sleep training. And sleep training does not have to mean CIO. I utilized tips from Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child when I moved LO from RnP to the crib. I never used the sleep training part though because I got lucky with DS so far.
