[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was in your shoes with my second child. People who say you just need to follow Ferber “to the letter” don’t get it. I really regret making my child cry that much when it was clearly not working, but everyone (books, dcum, pediatrician) just told me to keep trying. We finally tried camping out in his room and that helped somewhat, but what finally worked was…. putting a sippy cup of water in his crib! All this fine, he really was thirsty :-( - the nursing wasn’t “a crutch.” I found out at his 2 year appt that he had some allergies that inflamed his nasal passages but had no other symptoms, but I put that together with the fact that he had a tendency to mouth breath, and now it makes a ton of sense to me why he was waking up thirsty. To me, if your child doesn’t respond to CIO pretty easily, there’s something else going on. The answer is not more crying.[/quote]
