This won’t be very long.

I live with my MIL and every time my baby cry’s she says I’m a bad mom and I don’t take care of my baby... immediately. So I don’t let him cry. I have my own trailer on her property and she can hear him cry in the middle of the night but he’s a baby (she’s had 5 kids)

It got to the point of crying if I put him down. I had to hold him to go to the bathroom or shower or make dinner. It got ridiculous. He couldn’t sleep without me holding him or standing and treating him like a colicky newborn. I haven’t slept with my husband in months. We stopped having sex because I couldn’t put the baby down so it effected my marriage.

Anyway I finally let him cry for a nap. He cried for an hour (I checked him every 10 minutes and gave him a bottle and a pacifier put some baby music on and made sure it was dim but I did not pick him up) after an hour I finally laid with him and he passed out immediately. I got up and left him.

Today it was time for his nap so I laid him down with a bottle. He threw a fit so I got him a pacifier and he passed out... by himself!!
