Posted by StringedInstruments My son is 10 months old and needs to be rocked to sleep. If he stirs a bit in the middle of the night, he cries until we comfort him to sleep. He also still eats in the middle of the night. Tonight's the night we put our foot down. He's in his crib screaming right now. I'm dying. My wife's more calloused to it than I am since she is usually the one to rock him back to sleep and is ready for him to go down on his own.


We were in the same boat. Our son handled it like this:

1st night 40 mins
2nd night 7 mins
3rd night 1 min

Now he gives a token cry but is usually out before we can get to the monitor after leaving his room.

This is about how it went for my little boy. I think it like 36-10-3.

Now he's 9. I tell him every night at 9 its bed time, he goes to his room and lays down and is normally out for 9:15-9:30.

On the other hand my wife didn't want to do this with our daughter since it was our last child, she's 8. She's sleeping in my bed now.......... take it for what its worth.
