Need some experienced mommy advice. Okay so since my son was born I've never let him cry himself to sleep or even cry for two minutes.. But now he's 2 months and the pediatrician says I should / need to let him cry himself to sleep because he wakes up every 2 hours for feeding. Now my question is anyone let there babies cry ? And did it work 😔 as was it worth it 😪 I don't want to torture him . But I would like some sleep
I wouldn't let him cry at 2 months. Most say to not start that before 4-6 months. I didnt have the heart until he was 9 months :)
Maybe try a pacifier instead of a bottle? I'm sure he's just doing it for comfort so it should work in place of the bottle!
@dayanis, my pediatrician suggested it but I refused to. She also suggested at 4 months I should let him cry. He used to get so fussy but now it has subsided and he goes down without any problems. He gives me 4 hours sleep initially then wakes every 2 hours thereafter because I'm exclusively breastfeeding. So it depends on you and the baby.
@melli776, thank you ! Yes I feel the same way I don't have the heart BUT I wish I knew how to make him sleep for longer stretches of time at night. Any tips.
