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So I let him cry last night for about 15 minutes...today I am feeling totally guilty and I feel like he has 'withdrawn' from me a little bit.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... :(
