My son is 14 months. He woke once an hour for bf for the first 12 months of his life. After becoming most upset with sleep deprivation and constant breastfeeding I listened to my husband and let him cry it out, on the proviso that I wouldn't let
him scream.
Night one, he cried a bit. He slept more than normal. By night two he was sleeping 7-7. I was delirious. I also cut down from 12+ feeds a day to 2. Wow. I felt human again. He even continued this through illness (dihorreah sp? and a few viruses.)
6 weeks later he had a weird night where he screamed all night long. We brought him to bed and he was up all night. He has been since, for a week now we've had crap nights.
Should I start again with cio? Should I try something else? Should I comfort/bf him? Or be hard, and ignore it? Do you think there might be something wrong with him (unwell, teeth?) I'm going back to work next week. This is such bad timing.
