Cry It Out

Aliya is 5 months old & there is no reason she should not be sleeping through the night. We started a bedtime routine when she was 2 months old, she's knows when her bedtime is but always wakes up every night. She's on solids & formula so I know she's not waking up because she's hungry. It's been a little frustrating because I'm up half the night & then she's up for the day at 630am! So tonight I started the Cry It Out method. Basically I finish the bedtime routine & lay her down awake. She starts crying & I go in & soothe her & talk softly to try to calm her down but I don't pick her up. I go in at 3, 5, 10 minute intervals etc... & I leave the room & repeat the process until she falls asleep on her own. When she wakes up I do the exact same thing & the next night I start out at longer intervals & just continue it until she is sleeping happily through the night. I really hope it works. These next few days I probably will get a lot less sleep but I know it will help her in the long run! Wish me luck!
