[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks to those sending positive thoughts.  To be clear, when i was standing over his crib rubbing himfor 2 hours, i didnt think i was doing ferber.  I was trying to avoid a true CIO approach by easing him gently, because i could no longer transfer him into his crib after  nursing to sleep.  So when he woke up, i tried to soothe him back to sleep, but he wasnt having any.  We tried this several times, as well as taking him out and rocking or nursing to sleep again, but when he hits the mattress he wakes.  It was after the 2 hour session of trying to soothe him while he was in his crib that i decided we probably needed to CIO becuase i dont know what else to do.  Co-sleeping will not work for our family, and since i couldnt stand over his crib and soothe him to sleep after he jad just been asleep, i'm not sure sleep lady shuffle would work either!  When we started ferber we did it right, with incremental checks and not taking him out of the crib.

Also, i agree with those who talk about a sharp gag reflex.  Yes, DS was crying pretty hard to vomit, but he has also done that when i try to give him tylenol or motrin when he's feverish.  I actually keep rectal tylenol in the house because its so hard to medicate him when he feels badly without triggering vomit.
