All I did was put him down drowsy and if/when he started crying, let him go for 5 minutes. Check and soothe for 1-2 minutes without picking him up. Then wait 10 minutes, repeat, wait 20 minutes..... The only modification I made was that after 20 minutes, I did not double it to 40; instead I bumped it up to 30, then 35. <br /><br />When he went to sleep and woke up again, I started counting the minutes at where I'd left off, like 20 or whatever. This took only a few days, and then one night I put him down drowsy and he went right to sleep. <br /><br />Good luck!Lady of the househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470461258125426222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146209001463049318.post-39377107200412360922007-01-21T19:35:00.000-06:002007-01-21T19:35:00.000-06:00I just have to say that my husband and I are very ...I just have to say that my husband and I are very different as well. I remember being SO SCARED when we started dating. All the things I worried about then, thinking they would be the middle cause of all fights...have been the things to bring us closer together!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146209001463049318.post-70921852384352229412007-01-20T19:12:00.000-06:002007-01-20T19:12:00.000-06:00I can't remember how I stumbled upon your little b...I can't remember how I stumbled upon your little blog, but just wanted to let you know that the controlled crying worked for me. I was AP until my little one was 9 months. My marriage was getting really rocky because of all the time my little one required. I got absolutely no time alone(either with just me or with my husband). My husband demanded things change. So I did controlled crying, and after a few days, my little one lay down in the crib and didn't cry again. He was such a happier baby, and my husband was happier, too.<br /><br />If you would like to know how I did it, drop a line at one of my blogs. I'll be happy to fill you in.<br /><br />Either way, I'll pray for you. I know what you are going through, except things are probably a lot harder for you since you work outside of the home, too. Good luck.Lady of the househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470461258125426222noreply@blogger.com
