Advice for controlled crying.

[Lizbiz89]

I'm going to put my ds in his own room for the first time tonight. I ideally want to do controlled crying as I did it for my dd and it worked however this will be the first he will have been in his cot to sleep. I tried to do the gradual nap thing, but as he would cry it would disturb my dd from her afternoon nap so it didn't really work. I've since then tried to put him in just to play to get him used to it that way.

So my question is do think I should just start the controlled crying straight away or should I stay with him for the first few nights just to settle him in his room?

Why do you want to do controlled crying? Just try to settle the kid in first

Stay with him!!! He's a tiny human trying to get used to a new room and a new bed! Of course he's going to be unsure of things, comfort him and reassure him!

Please stay with him and settle him in his new bed. A new bed and controlled crying all at once will be too much surely? Also the things that worked for your dd may not work for this child.

Just don't do controlled crying at all

Maybe do some research on normal infant sleep and attachment.
