Advantages: Getting control back of things in your household

Disadvantages: feeling guilty leaving your baby screaming

As a first time mother of a 14 month old boy , I have had to learn the hard way when it comes to controlled crying. The first 4 months of my sons life were the hardest. The sleep deprevaton was really getting me down. I had no support as such ( although my husband was great ) , and I didn't really know what I was doing as far as routines went. When I could take no more, a friend of mine lent me a book called the " contented little baby book ". It saved my life , and explained quite clearly what routines should be in place at what age. Also it went in to alot of detail about controlled crying. I would definately recommend this book to anyone stuggling with a baby as I was. It is really hard at first to leave your baby crying for what seems like an eternity, but they don't suffer for it, and soon learn to settle themselves.

Summary: Controlled crying worked for me, maybe it could work for you too?
