HELP ME! I let DS CIO a little last night...today I feel AWFUL!

Against my better judgement, I have been letting DS fuss/cry a little at night. He always used to go down without a problem, but the last month he cries and cries unless I lay there and nurse him for 45 minutes to an hour until he is out cold. I just can't do it anymore....

So I let him cry last night for about 15 minutes...today I am feeling totally guilty and I feel like he has 'withdrawn' from me a little bit. Am I crazy? I was always against the CIO method, but I do not know what else to do. I feel like a terrible mom. I feel like all the nursing, babywearing, and cosleeping work has just gone right out the window and that our relationship/bond is now going to be affected because he cannot 'trust' me to respond to his needs... :(

    OMG these women are nuts. I know I'm not a parent and so I don't know secret pregnant/parent language and all that, but I just do not get stuff like this.

    This makes me want to cry. These parents are making me want to kill them and adopt their kids so they might have a chance at being well-adjusted children and people

    The worst is that all the advice she's getting is you really should have read more before you tried this, and there are other ways to get them to sleep.

    l, stuff like this makes me think that she's not geniunely upset.  she just wants validation about her ridiculous parenting.

    is she planning to nurse him to sleep when he's in college and has a big test the next day?

    If she feels this way after one night of letting him cry himself to sleep, discipline will be out the door. Kid will misbehave, she'll discipline, he'll get mad at her, and she'll feel guilty that she broke their sacred bond. <barf>

    All these AP kids are going to need some of Emma Pilsbury's pamphlets.

    Emma Pillsbury&#8217;s Pamphlets are freaking HELL-AR-YES! They are soooooo funny.

    Then he'll pee on her shoes and she'll have to ask the internet if it's okay to discipline him.

    I just can't believe these women don't have the ability to step back and think, huh, my mom let me cry once or twice when I was a baby, and I'm not an ax murderer. Maybe my kid will be fine too.
