do you let them CIO

if you know NOTHING is wrong and they wake in the middle of the night?DD is 16 montsh old for the most part alwasy sleeps through the night but here and there will wake up crying .Sometimes its a wimper and goes right back or like last night it was all out SCREAMING on and off fo about 30 minutes. Luckily dh fell asleep on the couch otherwise if he had been in bed he would have said go get her and bruing her n with us. i am relaly trying to let her cio in the middle of the night bc we have baby coming in April. She ended up going back and i had to wake her at 610 this morning which is RARE!

Re: do you let them CIO

I do, I let usually give it about 10 minutes before I go in. Usually if he doesn't go back to sleep after about 10 minutes, he wants some hand holding.

I would let him cry if it was the middle of the night.

Re: do you let them CIO

DW is against CIO, so we never did that when DC were infants. However, I convinced her to try it out now, since DD is 20 mo, and was crying several times a night for no reason. Some times, as soon as I opened her door, she would lie back down and go to sleep, even before I could do anything.... Only took about 2 days, and she is sleeping so much better now!

thanks see if i go in she stands up and wants me to take her out so thast why i dont go in at all.

Re: do you let them CIO

It's so hard to do but yes. DS has been acting up at bedtime and wakes up during the night sometimes. He's 23 months and I feel like we are back at square one again some days. We're having baby#2 any day and I think that is why he's freaking out a little or just the age. It terrible now because he'll cry out "maaaamaaaa" or "daddddddda" - it's so hard.

We also did this when he was about 9 months old because I just couldn't take it anymore and he was great until recently.

Good luck.
