[quote=Anonymous]I really don't think I can do any form of cry it out but I might have to if there is no other way...

Our 10 month old has gone from waking up once per night from the time he was about 5 months old until a couple weeks ago. Now he is waking up anywhere between 4-8 times per night. Half the time when he wakes up, my husband goes in and is able to get him back to sleep without feeding him but the other half the time, he is inconsolable until he has nursed so I have been nursing him 3-4 times per night (between the time he initially goes to bed around 7pm and 7am) and so obviously I'm exhausted-well, we're all exhausted. His naps are generally great. He reliably sleeps anywhere between 1 hr 15 min and 2 hrs for a morning nap and an afternoon nap every day. And he knows how to put himself to sleep because he does it at every nap and at bed time.

So, how do we get him to use that skill to put himself [i]back [/i]to sleep when he wakes up in the night without just letting him cry until he eventually wears himself out and falls asleep (I'm assuming that would happen eventually but we have never gotten to that point so I don't really know if that would even work)?

If you can offer me any insight or advice how to 'teach' or train a baby to sleep better without just letting them cry, I'd be very appreciative. I know this topic is discussed all the time on this board so I apologize for raising it again but I am desperate to find a solution.[/quote]
