Back when Devon was about 5 months old he would take 1 1/2 hours to get to sleep then maybe stay asleep for 20 minutes and wake up. We thought it was teeth at the time, but looking back on it I think it was him needing to teach himself to sleep. It was hard for a long time, but soon he started falling asleep faster and faster. Now I rock him for a few minutes before bedtime or naptime and he generally tends to fall asleep within 5-10 minutes. The majority of time he doesn't cry anymore. Most the time he "sings" himself to sleep now. So there's going to be tons of times where you doubt if you're doing the right thing….I know I did at the time….but just remember it'll get better. I'm definitely glad we made the decision to do it. Good luck!!

It's something he has to learn and it's probably best to deal with it now than later when he'll be more stubborn and set in his ways 🙂

Good luck! Hopefully it will keep getting better at a rapid pace!

We have major sleep issues due to Wyatt's crib being recalled then the company promising and lying about when I would receive it. So Wyatt got used to sleeping with me. Once the crib was here and up we began sleep training and he would cry for HOURS. I couldn't handle it…after a week of screaming I threw in the towel. It is tough, but I think you are doing great!

While our daughter adored her bouncy chair as well we did manage to break that habit…but she had to have both her wedge and her Woombie to go to sleep. I finally eliminated the wedge about a month ago without her really taking notice since she was rolling up on her side. Since then she has really started to roll around and I worried about the Woombie. The new one does allow more movement so when she rolls over she can still prop herself up but I'm ready to get rid of it. Problem is…she won't sleep without it. Plus she's still waking up numerous times during the night always wanting a bottle. *sigh* we're not getting any sleep and hubby would rather just give her a bottle than listen to her cry…did I mention she's already 7 months old. I definitely need to figure something out. 🙁 I'm like you though…I hate the whole "cry it out" She gets so upset and it makes me feel like she feels like I'm just not going to come back, that I'm ignoring her and I hate that feeling.
