Please remind me why we?re controlled crying?
DD falls asleep on the boob, very easily, and is then transferred from our bed to her cot. Due to impending move to nursery, DH is insisting that we do crying it out controlled crying. I don?t like it and neither does DD.
When we have mastered DD self-soothing. We?ve just done third night in row, of controlled crying, do I need to then start putting her down awake, every night? If we revert to falling asleep on the boob, will all the crying it out have been in vain. She?s six and a half months old. For the last few nights, I've moved her just as she's coming to end of feed, and before she's fallen asleep.
DH has two sisters, and they both did controlled crying for their children, and he?s been listening to their advice on getting children to sleep. DD is still waking every two to three hours, and whilst I cope, DH hates it.
I've agreed to move her to nursery, at seven months, and consider giving her just water at night, at eight months (as per his sisters advice). DH is worried, that if we don't act now, we could have a poor sleeper for years to come. I'm much more laid back.
Is he right? Try to convince me that he is correct. I've compromised, and I don't like it.
