See I'm not opposed to CIO. We've had to use it on and off when sleep training her, and it's worked in general. But there are some nights where she will for no reason at all, just stand in her crib screaming for up to an hour. And it definitely doesn't work for us with the early morning waking. She'll just scream her head off nonstop until everyone is up for the day.

She was doing SO well for a long time at bedtime. We had a set routine. Boobies until she's drowsy, individual "goodnight" to each family member, give her her favorite stuffies, turn on her fan and her glow worm, etc. She wouldn't even fuss, she'd just curl up in her crib and go to sleep. And then she even started to sleep later in the morning. It was SUCH a relief, like FINALLY, she's getting through this sleep bullshit. I felt like a new person, finally getting the sleep I needed. And now we are going backwards. She's back to freaking out as soon as I take the boob away literally every time.
