Hi ladies,
I am starting controlled crying as our nights are just getting worse and worse! (He is pretty much 6 months old now) Last night Toby slept for 5 hours, then between 11:50 - 3am he was waking every 10-30 minutes!! I just cant cope with these night wakings anymore and have decided that i am going to go down the CC route...
Tonight Toby was NOT happy going down, he literally SCREAMED for half an hour, choking he was crying so much, it was awful, i hated it, but i feel i have to do this now.
Do they usually scream so hard? or do they just usually cry?
Can you give me some advice on what i need to do when he wakes again -
I leave him for 5-10mins before going in right?
Then calm him without picking him up - this DIDNT work when he went down earlier, just started screaming even louder when he knew i wasnt going to pick him up or give him his dummy!
It going to be a hard few nights, but i guess its the only way it will get better for us!
Not sure how i am going to do, but I am going to give it my best shot
Any help would be really appreciated, thanks everyone
