why isn't the cry it out method working?!?

Question

I have been putting my 16 month old down for her naps still awake for almost 3 weeks now and she STILL cries herself to sleep. It's only for about 10-15 mins but I thought by now she wouldn't still be crying and it makes me feel so terrible am I doing it wrong? Also at night she wont go to sleep without being rocked...

Answer

Because she needs help going to sleep.

Answer

It's a tough age, hopefully she'll start settling quicker. 10-15 isn't terrible it just feels awful. Consistency tho, don't back down now.

Answer

My son's only 9 months, but we've done cry it out for bed since 8 months & he still takes 5 mins of crying on a good day to go to sleep. Our routine before is diaper change, pajamas, & bottle. The only part he doesn't cry during is the bottle. I feel your pain. I'm sure you're doing everything right. It just takes time sometimes.

Answer

Every baby is different. If she cries herself to sleep within that amount of time you're doing good it may eventually get less and less and she may have some bad days too. I tried it with my son and he just won't stop crying he works himself up for each child has their own preference.

Answer

My 13 month old is the same. She will cry for about 10-15 minutes and then go to sleep. It's like she forgets that we do this every night basically.
