March 25, 2012 - Cry it out, Day 1

Tonight we decided to try the Ferber technique to get Baby to sleep in his crib. Apparently we did this with the Girl, however I can't remember even going through it. I guess that's a good thing. So we decided that we would let him go through the process for an hour tonight and still bring him into our bed when he wakes at 3:00am. It was hard to hear him cry. When I went into he room he was holding my hand tightly and whenever he would fall asleep I would pull my hand away and then he woke up. I hated walking out of the room when he was crying but I know that this is better for him in the long run, and better for the family and us. Hopefully by next week he will be falling asleep on his own when we place him in the crib...that would be dreamy!
