3 months 1 week old...too young?
to CIO? He's been literally up from 3:30 this morning until now, with one 1 hour and nap and 1 two hour nap, he's totally overtired.
This is the first time I put him in his crib, I swaddled him, but on a lullaby CD and closed the door. He's just making little annoyed noises, not crying...
What do I do?

Re: 3 months 1 week old...too young?
First off.. we've all had those days.
3 months is too young for CIO. If he is not crying now and just fussing, I would leave him. I know my answer might not be the popular one, but that's what I would do. As long as he's not crying. Let him get his annoyance out, it might tire him out and get him to sleep.

Re: 3 months 1 week old...too young?
in short, yes, it is too young....I have BTDT and I know how stessful it is but at that age, babies really do not know how to self soothe
That said, if he is noy crying, let him fuss and whine a bit, that is not considered CIO to me

DD is almost 12 weeks old.
There have been a couple of times when I have been busy and could not get to DD as soon as she cried. After a couple of minutes, she would stop crying and fall asleep. So it was unintentional CIO.
Now unless she is seriously upset (I can tell by the type of cry) sometimes I let her cry / fuss for a little bit to see if she will stop on her own, or really needs mommy.

ETA and I'm an advocate of CIO. Your little guy is just a little too young.
