I'm trying cry it out at the moment it's soo hard but he's not crying he's just screaming so isn't that bad for his throat? also when I lie him down after some time to check on him he refuses to lie down nd screams louder what should I do nd should I pick him up?
yhh it hurts thinking he's sleepy hut won't go to sleep bcz he needs me but I only picked him up once bcz like that he won't know how to sleep himself, I went after certain amount of time increased everytime could I go any time? I heard cry it out method is increase time like that they will know I'm not going to come when ever u cry i mean I would love to com nd just put him to sleep but that's coming to his every cry don't know, but anyway I did it for two hours hurt me seeing him cry but I sure seen improvements in his cry nd when he was soo sleepy I put him down he didn't panic nd was trying to sleep while I pat him as soon as I was about to leave he could sense it so I stayed till he slept did I do it right?
If your not comfortable leaving him to cry then don't. Also your panicking & he will sense this. Try & stay calm, go in lay him down, stroke his face & say goodnight & walk back out. Go back in if he's still crying & repeat. Keep going back in, laying him down, but don't talk just say goodnight & walk back out until he settles. It may take a while but if your consistent then eventually he will give up. But you have to stay calm, relaxed & of course only do it if your comfortable doing it.
I've never tried the cry it out method so I don't know. I just leave them in their cot & repeatedly keep coming back in the room to check on them, & reassure them until they fall asleep themselves.
