[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you went in after 30 mins she learned if she screams long enough you will go in. If you are serious you need to not go back in. I sleep trained at 4.5 mos and the first night she cried for just over an hour. Yes I felt like a shit parent, yes I wanted to go in, but I didn’t. 2nd night was 30 mins, 3rd night 5 mins.... and done. We always put down drowsy but awake so she got used to falling asleep on her own. [/quote]

OP here.  Our expensive sleep consultant said to never let a baby cry for more than 30 minutes.  [/quote] did they say why? My kid is 8 now with no adverse affects. Slept from 8pm 7am by 5.5 months. I was a much better parent during the day than I would have been waking up twice a night still.[/quote]

OP here.  Consultant said extended crying get them too jacked up (my term) for restful sleep.  And something about stress hormones released.  I was told to go in and nurse her/settle her and then try again.  This made it worse.  As I would walk from the chair to the crib she’d start screaming.  [/quote]
