Cry it out?

Question

My son is 11 months old and still does not sleep thru the night. He is even starting to fight sleep when he is in bed with me.  We have a night time routine and everything.

I have tried everything I can think of.   I am thinking about trying the cry it out method.

How does it work?  
What was your experience? 
Any advice??

Answer

Cry it out was super tough for me to do, but at the same time worked wonders. Move slowly- 1st day wait 3 minutes, go rub his back/give him a kiss/tell him you love him but do not pick him up. Leave the room, repeat until he falls asleep. Next day try 7 minutes, then 10 min etc. Only took us a few days before she was falling asleep by herself. I usually sat outside or with earphones and loud music on so I couldn't hear the crying while I waited (set a timer on my phone) because it made me sad to hear. Good luck!

Answer

He naps once a day if that anymore :/ thank you

Answer

Both of my kids were over a year before they completely slept through the night. I just figured they would get there. The crying it out was torture but I would increase the time I would allow them to cry gradually. I'd start with a 5 minutes at a time and go from there. Good luck!
