I understand your reasons for being against CIO, is there ever a point where you might have to consider it though? For both your and Ben's health? Is there a point where lack of sleep on his part is a bigger issue than the risks of CIO? Just curious.
I know with how hysterical he gets its an issue.
I think I saw a thread in Baby Club in the past week about trying to break the 30-45minute nap cycle issue... that something about rubbing their backs before they wake up helps them resettle before they get too awake? I know thats not a good solution for all night long long-term, but I wonder if you can sort of train his body to stay asleep longer that way?
