[quote=Anonymous]At 11 months, we used the "let cry for 5 minutes (then go in and say it's okay honey shhhh go to sleep, you can do it!), then let cry for 10 minutes (then go in and say it's okay honey you can do it! shhhh go to sleep), then let cry for 15 minutes (then go in...).

I hated the idea of cry it out but I was too sleep deprived to let things go on as is, and this method let me intervene every 5/10/15 etc minutes to let my kid know I was there and hadn't abandoned her.

I'll admit it, those first five minutes of crying were hard.  But then I went in, said my thing, went back to my room, and she cried a little more, but never got to 10 minutes.  Second night was the same.  And third night she never got to 5.

Apparently there are different baby ages, developmentally, where these methods are most likely to work, and 11 months was one of the good ones.

Best of luck to you.  This period of sleep deprivation was one of the most difficult for me in raising a baby -- I hope you get to take care of yourself and things work out![/quote]
