Im not a fan of cio or sleep training. At all. But I know my bub is honestly difficult. Weve done so many methods to soothe him where weve got to the point that were up almost every hour, BED SHARING, and he STILL fusses after a comfort feed. Nothing soothes him anymore. I think he only sleeps when hes beyond tired.

It took three months to get this bad. It didn't start out this bad but every time I give him more comfort it takes more and more to soothe him.

Now here we are

Weve exhausted all methods and I can see how desperately tired he is. He just wants to sleep but cant do it at all by himself. Not even alittle. He has zero self soothing skills.

I feel like Im hurting him more by not teaching him how to figure it out...even though the thought it breaks my heart... I dont have any choices left. He has to learn himself I guess.....

I think were going to try the ferber method. This is going to kill me. Hearing him cry for me kills me. It feels wrong.

Any words of encouragement?
