it is OK. best thing for my kids. it's hard as hell as a parent, goes against everything you think you are supposed to do, but honestly, we have 4 yo twins who are amazing sleepers, and for one CIO was the only way to get her there. she was fitfull sleeper and so hard to put down to sleep frmo day, when she was old enough, we did cio and she became happier during teh day because she was getting better solid sleep. here is the thing you need to tell yourseld once you start though, if you start and then quit after 10 minutes, you really have just tortured your child, so when you start it, you need to commit to continue until he/she falls asleep. i would sit in the room on the floor so my baby could see me, because that was the only way i felt less quilty, but you need to be ready.

It's ok to let him cry. It's also OK to decide it's too hard to do without the help of your husband. [ Reply | More

You'll all be fine. Hang in there. Just let him do it--he'll figure it out and you'll all be so much happier and well rested. Have a drink. Take a shower, watch tv, listen to music--do something, but don't go in there. [ Reply | More
