Ds3 is a nightmare sleeper. Co-slept for 6 months, fully breastfed. Now at 7 months he has plenty of solids (BLW) and sleeps mostly in an Amby by dh side of the bed. He comes into bed to feed at night. He wakes pretty much hourly and i know he does not need that much milk.
We read NCSS and have tried it in bits, but to bed honest I just can't take the exhaustion for the amount of time it would take for it to work. This evening, ds3 would not settle to sleep (somewhat unsual as he normally feeds to sleep on my lap and then dh put him in the hammock mostly asleep). I fed him again and again and again, but he cried each time he was put in the hammock. In the end, dh bounced the hammock, shhhshhhed him and sat there while he cried himself on and off (sometimes angrily) to sleep.
So, my question is this: I hate the idea of CC or any type of crying it out. On the otherhand, if dh is right there with him, is it ok?

Is it really bad to let 7 month old baby cry to sleep if dh is right there with him?
