: I've stated my opinion on this a few times before. I didn't used to think it was a good idea and no matter how much you believe in it, it's usually not an easy thing to do. However, you have to remind yourself that your child WILL NOT hold CIO against you. I guarantee your kiddo will be happier and healthier once she learns to sleep better. I used to have one just like yours. Up until 10 months she woke up 3 and 4 times a night. We were ZOMBIES. We finally decided that the only solution was CIO. We put together a bedtime ritual and stuck to it. If she cried, we let her cry for five minutes at a time and then went in to let her know everything was going to be okay. We've had some rough times now and then but now she sleeps between 10 and 12 hours a pop and never wakes up in the middle of the night!

Steve,

That's great that Hannah now sleeps 10 to 12 hours a night. I am so happy that you and your wife no longer have to feel like zombies.
