Forty-five minutes... that is how long my eleven month old son has been crying. I fed him, I changed him, and I sang to him. He was very close to being asleep, so I laid him down. He' s been crying ever since. I did go in after 25 minutes and he had a poopy diaper. So, I changed it and we began again.
I am trying to remember why I am doing this. Sure, an hour every night, trying to make get him to sleep is long, but it only lasts for a time, right? I can not stand letting my little sweetheart cry! I honestly think I would rather snuggle him for that long than listen to him cry. I have been told over and over, though, that this will only last for a few nights, then he will get the picture. Then, maybe I can get a little more done at night. I hope so, because he is very strong willed and I am a sucker for my little man.

*shrug* It doesn't always last for just a few nights. I did both crying-to-sleep-train and gently-to-sleep with my boys, and found that in the long run it didn't make a difference in their sleep habits. In the short run, it was more peaceful for both baby and the rest of the family.
