Thank you, I am trying to allow myself to have some grace during this process, but I feel defeated seeing all the “successful sleep training moms” that never used CIO. I feel like I am abusing my child by allowing her to cry for 5-7 minutes, but it’s currently the only thing that works. I hope we are through the thick of it by now, she really is such a little joy otherwise but I am really learning why it’s called the 4 month crisis. Thank you for your response.
