So we're trying the let Wade cry it out thing and let me just start by saying IT SUCKS!! It just breaks my heart to listen to him in there crying because he wants his momma to come and pick him up and hold him till he falls alseep in her arms! That's the problem though, Mr. Wright and I have ran to his rescue everytime he cries and now we can't seem to get any sleep or get anything done during the day! He literally SCREAMS bloody murder if I set him down for longer than 5 or 10 mins during the day...and when I pick him up he's fine! And this past week he's decided when we put him down for bed to only sleep 30 mins at a time because he knows we'll hold him and sleep with him in the recliner. It's gotten worse this week though and the way he cries when I put him down I wondered if he didn't have an ear ache. So to relieve my mind before we went to crying it out we took a trip to Dr. G's office today. Other than thrush (which he's had for a month and she switched us to a new medicine today) he was healthy and just spoiled rotten!
Please someone tell me it gets better and easier! I am not liking this! My mom says she never let us cry it out, that if babies are crying they are crying becasue they want something. Well i know what he wants, to be held!! Although it is hard i can already tell it is working. I put him down and he cries for about 10 or 15 mins and then he's out! Then when he wakes up 30 mins later I just let him cry himself back to sleep! Prayers for strength and not feeling like a HORRIBLE mother are needed and greatly appreciated!!
Oh and he weighed 13 pounds today!! What a chunky monkey!!
(Really mom, your not gonna pick me up)
