However, the reality in this house is a little less clear cut. Miss G,my oldest, was nursed or cuddled to sleep at naptime or bedtime for quite a long time, probably until she was almost a year old. At that point she wouldn't fall asleep in my arms, Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17358217546779889348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17830317.post-37081558978347419082009-07-08T23:25:26.630-05:002009-07-08T23:25:26.630-05:00I really appreciate your perspective here, Slee. ...I really appreciate your perspective here, Slee. I'm sorry you had a stroke, but it is an eye opening story you tell here about communication and its importance to an individual.

It just feels natural and seems right for us. I have friends who swear by the CIO method and that is great for them but just not for me. Different strokes for different folks.

She was exhausted, and hungry and she would not eat, she would not even sit at the table. She cried when I held her, when I tried to feed her, and finally I put her down figuring she would sleep. She fell right to sleep but after 40 minutes she woke up crying (well, whimpering) and I waited 15 - 20 minutes (until Upstatemammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862359333933751151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17830317.post-21246489192612998092009-07-08T19:54:29.763-05:002009-07-08T19:54:29.763-05:00Great post.

It makes me sad when someone says "we just let him cry it out. sure it takes him forty five minutes some nights, but man he sleeps sound when he's done."Sleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649221624958002039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17830317.post-12109895222299130312009-07-08T17:56:04.784-05:002009-07-08T17:56:04.784-05:00I think CIO is definitely a personal decision for ...I think CIO is definitely a personal decision for each person. We use CIO with Chunky Monkey, and it's worked great for us. But really, he doesn't cry much. He's sad when I first put him in his crib, but usually by the time I get back downstairs, he's no longer crying, and is asleep. It's just different for everyone.
