We let little Sarah "cry it out" for the first time tonight. She was exhausted had nursed for what seemed like hours but still was not letting herself fall asleep. We tried taking a walk (inside and outside) but nothing seemed to be working. So I wrapped her in her little straight jacket, put her in the closet, turned out the lights and shut the door. (For those of you who don't know, her "bedroom" is our master bedroom walk-in closet - There's a swing in there - no need to call DCS.)
It took about 7 minutes but now she's asleep.
BACK TO ADD: OK, I was wrong. She faked me out. She was crying again within about 10 minutes of that post. It took her another hour of nursing off and on for her to fall asleep. But she was asleep by 11pm and slept till about 5am!
