I believe all mothers know what is best for their child. I had a hard time deciding about letting my daughter cry it out. I knew she was starting to wake up out of habit. The constant wakings were unhealthy for her and exhausting for me. She is 4 months old and I can put her down awake but the multiple night wakings were an issue. So I decided to let her cry it out after I fed her at mid night just until 4am when my husband left for work where I would feed her again. She woke up at 2 and cried for ten minutes and fell asleep. Then 3 and cried a little longer and fell asleep. Now she sleeps from 6-3 I feed her and she sleeps again until about 6:30am. If any mommas are looking for success stories, here ya go!!
