Am I ever going to sleep again?
Kolt is 6 months old now and I decided he needs to start sleeping through the night. So, I have started the dreaded "let him cry it out". Last night was the 5th night and he is still crying for about 3 hours. It breaks my heart and oh my gosh am I tried. Matt sleeps right through the whole thing but I am up every minute. It is not just that I am up but every minute is horrifying as well. I feel so bad every second he is crying! I know, I know I am being a complainer and I know it is in his best interest to learn how to sleep through the night but, I hate it, I hate it!

I have a solution for you. First of all, there has never been a baby that has died from crying, so it is o.k. for him to cry it out. I know it's hard. We went through it a month or two ago. We bought a fan at Lowes (one of the big cheap ones-like $22) and it is great to drown out the noise. I turn it on when Tayler sleeps day or night. That way he can't hear what's going on throughout the house and we can't hear him. It's a soothing noise also so he sleeps better.
It won't take long before he'll sleep through the night. We are the ones that make it hard for them to do that. We can't stand the crying so we go rescue them. They are smarter than we think-they know exactly what they are doing. Tayler cried a few times for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. It sucks. Good luck. I'm sure you'll all be getting a good nights sleep really soon.
