[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10:37 again: it DOES work. I held my babies until they were drowsy or almost asleep and then put them down. For one of my little guys, I had to hold him until he fell soundly asleep. And please note, I am not a FTM....I have four (including an infant), so I know what I am talking about. Guess what? Kids sleep through the night when they are ready, so dont try to rush it by attempting to train them. Many five month olds don't sleep through the night....if he's sleeping for a five hour stretch, then count that a a win. And to the pp who said I was an idiot: I assure you that I am not. I am, however, a btdt veteran mom. If crying bothers the op, then she should pick up her baby and soothe him. This is parenting 101.[/quote]

Mom of 3, who is an older sibling of 6 with lots of nieces, nephews, etc.

I completely agree with you.

The trick though, is that you have to keep yourself calm and soothing when holding the crying baby.  Easy to say, but hard to do.  If you are stressed to tears yourself, baby will pick up on it.

Another trick is to walk them around outside in the dark until they are calm and drowsy.  Works like a charm, at least 70% of the time :)[/quote]
