I’ve been late to do this as I find it exceedingly difficult to listen to him cry, especially when dealing with my own PPD issues. My husband has been instrumental in helping with this and after about a week, my son seems to be adjusting well to this new routine. We’ve done the Guided Training method and it seems to be going well for us so far and although we can hear him crying throughout our condo, it’s good for us to be able to step away and “recharge” for a few minutes before going back into his room.

I have seen parent who would never let their baby cry for more than a few seconds. They were completely exhausted and the baby was incapable to be soothe herself.

Your mother knows best! I am a believer!
