For any moms who are struggling with going the route of letting their baby cio.. i just have to say it has totally changed napping and night bedtime.. my little guy is 8 mons and I resisted... but I have to say i am a convert. Napping was 45 mins of rocking, soothing, in and out... then 45 mins of sleep. He would be in tears as soon as i put him down.. now he happily curles up and goes to sleep. 80% of the time I dont hear a peep from him, other times he talks to himself for a little while.. But I think CIO is only part, setting a good nap schedule and sticking to it also was a big part... [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

seriously! Why is it that I hear all the time here "whatever is best for the mom (WOH, divorce, affair etc)is best for the baby too. Whatever makes you happy" but let someone mention CIO, which is best for most moms, and all of a sudden it's horrible and mean. [ Reply | More

"whatever is best for mom" is what people say to make the selfish mom feel better. [ Reply | More

My dcs were co-sleepers and we were all rested w/o cio. They transitioned to their own beds and rooms by 2yrs and have always been good sleepers. [ Reply | More

A baby's only way to communicate is to cry. If you ignore the cry, you are ignoring your baby's needs. I guess I don't understand how you can let a little baby who is totally dependant on you cry and cry until they can't cry anymore. [ Reply | More
