I’ve always been against “cry it out” sleep training. Its not that I believe that it causes damage, but more because I just can’t listen to my baby cry if there’s something I can do to help her.

My husband has been pushing for us to try it with our baby since it’s almost impossible to get her to go to sleep. All of his siblings did it with their kids so he says it will work for ours. I agreed to try but my limit is 3 minutes. I made it to 2 before I was crying too.

It would be different if my baby was just crying, but she wasn’t. This sounded like a blood curdling scream. I just couldn’t take it.

Not bashing anyone who does it, maybe you’re just stronger willed than me 😢
