: My neighbour has an 8 month old baby boy and the other day I went to babysit for them and the baby sleept for a long time while I was there. Although I know it is easier for older babies to take longer naps; I asked her how did she managed to have him sleeping for such long periods of time? She said they let him "cry it out" when he was 3 months old and he quickly learned no one was coming to pick him up and stopped crying. He now sleeps from 6pm-7am without waking up and also has a nap in the afternoon. I think CIO has its benefits and I will sure try it out if anything else works - but don't you think 3 months old is a little early to start CIO? She said babies as young as 3 months know how to manipulate their parents and I am not sure that is true. Any comments on this? My daughter will be 3 months on the 13 of august, and she is sleeping though the night, i started her on pablum and her down for the night, after her burp and she has been sleeping for up to 8 hours straight. most nights it is anywere from 6 to 7 but still, she eats more dirring the day and before she goes to bed(her choice) and that fills her up. every parent is different just like every child is different, i dont think that CIO at 3 months is a bad thing but iam not sure if i could do it to my little ones.
