[quote=Anonymous]My first STTN pretty much from day one. We never let him cry it out but we never could have even if we had wanted to bc he just hardly ever would wake/cry at bedtime or nap time or during the sleep times anyway. We’d put him down at consistent times and he’d just miraculously put himself to sleep.

Then we had my 2nd. She could not be put down to sleep without screaming. We tried drowsy but awake, we tried nursing to sleep, we tried everything but nothing worked. She would scream and cry whenever you put her down to sleep. We didn’t want to do CIO so we tried co sleeping. Even that wasn’t good enough/she’d still scream and cry unless she was held and we obviously couldn’t hold her all night long or even for all naps during the day since we had another child. So we finally tried CIO when she was 9 months old. We were exhausted. We were miserable. We felt like we’d tried everything. Then guess what? CIO didn’t work either. She just was a nightmare sleeper for the first 12-18 months of her life. I wonder if we had tried CIO earlier w her it would’ve worked? Who knows. She’s now 5 and sleeps great. Haha

I feel like a lot of this is just there is no right answer. You try to do what you think is best for your kid/your family. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.[/quote]
