Same here, 1 minute feels like an hour.

@mommy_faith, yup! Exactly. I can't listen to her cry. There are times I've tried to just let her cry but I don't even last 1 minute. But I think it's time to

I understand your pain. My son will be 8 months old on the 10th and the only way he has ever gotten to sleep is by being nursed and rocked. I don't know how and even where to begin if I were to sleep train, hearing him cry is HORRIBLE and I try to explain to my husband that I physically can't listen to it. He says I've spoiled him. I thought that wasn't possible to spoil a baby, but I swear my son is spoiled rotten lol I have always done what you said above, as soon as he starts to fuss or cry I do things for him until he's happy again lol.

At that age they are aware of how to get their way with you. They really are testing you. Don't let her hustle you!!! Lol

@bernadette, thank you! Yeah it's definitely gonna be hard work. But it's necessary now. I'm hoping it works for her because all the other methods I've tried haven't. Thank you

If only we could all just lay with our baby all day to keep em soothe. Not possible when there's work to be done, a house to clean or other children to take care of. You're just going to have to ease into it and pray that it works. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a crying baby. If you have the time, try transitioning naps first. Also you're gonna have to cut the squats out. She's gonna fuss but try just getting her to fall asleep holding her while still. Then laying her down, after she's asleep, in the crib. If she wakes up, which she will at some point. Repeat the process. It's frustrating as hell, but keep doing it. Then ease into just laying her down while drowsy, near sleep. She wakes up, repeat the process, just be sure to lay her down while drowsy each and every time. Eventually you should be able to my her down while she's awake. Say "time for bed, mommy loves you and good night." Stay in the room until she falls asleep. If she begins fussing just reassure her of your presence and say "it's time to sleep." Sometimes you have to sit right outside of the crib and keep a hand on her until she feels safe. As she becomes more comfortable in her crib just keep slowly moving away from the crib each night. This is what I would consider to be the least harsh way of crib training. Sometimes crying it out just doesn't work. It didn't at first with my daughter and we had her sleeping on her own for a good two months and then one night she climbed out of the crib and fell and hit her head pretty bad. With hat situations and molars coming in she just wasn't having the crib anymore. This was about 2 months ago and here she is 18months old and weaseled her way back in to bed. I stay at home during the day so it's not a big deal for us having her nap and sleep in my bed, but if I was working and needed childcare for her I would have no choice but to get her crib trained. You just do what you gotta do and don't let anyone make you feel like you're a horrible person for teaching your child how to sleep independently. It's a skill to be proud of having accomplished. Good luck!

@alexislopez, yeah I never let her cry at all lol the moment she cries I do whatever I can to help. But it's gotten out of hand. Goodluck to you when your time comes!

@mamesey, I'm guilty of it too, I've actually never let my son cry it out but I'm not against it..I know it will be just as hard for me when and if I have to do it! Good luck 💕

@alexislopez, thank you! It definitely sucks. I never let her cry. But I need to :/

@jgarciamua, yeah exactly what she's like. I just have to go back to work in 3 months and I don't want a sudden shock to her when I'm gone all day

I think you know what's too much crying and what can be dangerous and what isn't. She's just use to mama 24/7, she doesn't know any different so she's going to fight it. I think crying it out for a few minutes is okay. You're the mama you know what's best for YOUR baby.

Lol! I know what it feels like trust me. There is days where i dont eat till the afternoon bc my baby wants to be on the boob all day. Im accepting the fact that it wont last for long and they are babies for a short period of time @mamesey

thanks ill let you know :) little miss is like that too she normally only wants momma :)

I wish that was it :(

@jgarciamua, her whole life lol

How long has it lasted? Maybe its a growth spurt and she justs wants to be with you 💞

@jgarciamua, yeah I've tried but literally nothing works except me holding her. She won't even go in a carrier 😕 and my fiancé is never home so he can't help 😟 the few times he has she actually gets more mad because she doesn't want him. Idk why she's like this

Have you tried a walk in the stroller so she can calm down? My baby gets very fussy at times and i just find every possible way to sooth her. There is times i cant find a way and i just tell my husband to help me.

@4xmeislove, my baby hates them 😫 but I hope it works for you!!

Everyone please look at my edit on this post 🙄

@jgarciamua, I have coslept for almost 9 months. That's what we are trying to avoid. She crawls now. We have guard rails but she climbs over them. Would rather her not get a head injury.

Personally there is nothing more important to sooth my baby. Everything else can wait.

Babies cry for a reason! Parents misinterpret the baby has fallen asleep or calmed down when the baby stops crying but since it takes them a lot of effort for them to cry, they just get tired so it doesn't mean they are calmed down. Have you tried co sleeping?

yeah, I told my husband I need a baby carrier there's no way I can do it without one I was hoping he would get one when he went to Walmart last night but he didn't so I'm going to see if he will this weekend the cheapest is like $15 but it'll be so worth it.

@4xmeislove, exactly!

i know what you mean, it hurts me to see my baby girl crying like she does but if I pick her up every 5 minutes I'm never going to get my house clean and she won't learn to calm herself down.

I'm an Emt so trust me I understand not to let it get out of hand lol

@jgarciamua, I won't let her get to the point of hyperventilating. If it gets too overwhelming I'll come in and comfort her and put her down again.

@4xmeislove, yeah she has no clue how to self soothe and needs to learn. It's gonna hurt me but idk what else to do

@santistevanmommie, that's what I've been doing and it stopped working. She will not stop crying. Like I said, I go for over an hour doing squats. Rocking in a chair doesn't work for her. Only squats. I can't really physically do this anymore. I was against cry it out too but I feel like I have no options left that I haven't already tried

sometimes if your doing everything possible that's the only thing to do is let them cry it out.. my 2 month old is constantly wanting to be held and i just have to let her even though she starts screaming in just those short 5 mins.

I'm completely against crying it out. What I've done is rock her to sleep in a rocking chair and put her in her crib. If she starts fussing I walk over and give her her binky and go sit on the bed and repeat until she falls asleep or if she starts screaming I rock her again. Basically at first it's hard but after a week she was sleeping in her crib no problem
