Please go easy on me as I already feel awful enough.. so after weeks of LO suddenly waking to comfort feed every hour in the night and refusing to be put down for bed until hours of comfort feeding have exhausted her, my mum finally got her way and pushed me to attempt CIO. My LO is 15 weeks old and although seems very young my mum told me she did it with both me and my brother when we were much younger. I did all the right things, ie fed, changed, winded, comfortable, put down almost asleep... but as soon as she hit the mattress she began wining and then crying and finally after only 5 minutes hysterically screaming and hyperventilating. I couldn’t bare any more than that and much to my mums disapproval I went in and comforted her. It took at least half an hour for her to calm down and her breathing to go back to normal but now every time I put her down asleep she wakes up screaming like she thinks I’m going to do it to her again. I feel so heartbroken as previously I would go to her the second she started whining and now I feel as though she had lost complete trust in me. She has not slept anywhere other than in my arms since the night before last as she will not be put down or she goes into total meltdown. Have I broken my poor child? Or should I have been consistent with CIO as have made it worse since picking her up? I really don’t know what’s right as there’s so many opinions and I feel like a clueless idiot. Just want what’s best for my baby without worrying about scarring her! Please help :(
