*sigh* More and more evidence and testimony of other new mommies with babies with sleeping problems are giving me the indication that I really need to give crying it out a good try with Ethan. I just can't go on this way anymore. The book I've been reading does advocate it in various forms - and suggests it as an option. I just don't know how I'm going to NOT be able to pick up my baby when he's really boo hoo'ing. I know it will be harder on me than him. But when sleep deprived I can be emotional enough without playing CIO games at 2:00 am for a few hours. But I'll try. Maybe not tonight, or even tomorrow, but soon. I'll try. For the good of us both.
