Im asking a lot of questions, I know, sorry I'm bored....?

I didn't start doing that method with my daughter until she was older maybe 10 months and then it worked well only had to do it once or twice before she learned to put herself to sleep. One month seems a little young in my opinion.

I cant believe you pediatrician told you to let you ONE month old CIO.

The CIO method is NOT recommended for babies under 6 months of age.

At one month old babies still need middle of the night feedings. They are supposed to eat every 3-4 hours whether at day or night. I would go get your baby and soothe him. He is NOT ready for the CIO method.

I would not recommend it. You'll most likely find your instincts telling you to go pick him up, and I believe they are there for a reason. It is not good for a newborn to cry it out. He needs his mommy (or daddy) for comfort, even if he is fed and changed. We had a lot of sleepless nights with our baby, until he began sleeping through the night at 3 months. It will get better.

Take care!

Did you say 1 month old, well that would not work for me at all. I would not recommend the cry it out until at least bare minimum of 6 months old. At 1 month, he can have belly aches and can't sit up to burp or have gas and can't get up to feel better. I would not do it at 1 month for sure.

Your doctor is a wack job. I can't believe that she suggested that you let your baby cry it out at one month. That is so sad. Even people who support that method say that you shouldn't do it to a baby younger than 6 months. My advise is to go pick up your baby and find a new doctor.

heres a tip: you wont get too much constructive advice about CIO on here.

how do you feel about letting him CIO? personally i couldnt do it. My dr told me the same as yours but I dint listen.

I read Pantley's NO Cry Sleep Solution and htat worked wonderfully with no crying at all

At one month old? are you crazy? You are barely just starting to figure out what cry means what. Let him cry it out now and all ya will do is let him know your not dependable. Wait till he or she is 6 mos or so.

He is only one month old?? I dont think that is a very good idea at all. He's too young to learn how to self sooth in my opinion.

Our son is 6 months,as personally...we have been using the CIO Method since birth. Though he has never cried for longer than 10 minutes [then either me or Daddy go in and soothe him] even still he falls asleep on his own. I completely respect every other mothers methods, which ever works best for you and your young one.

yea it's okay to do that also sneak a peek on him by putting baby monitors in and tune into them every 10 minutes or so to hear what hes doing and also creep into his door and look at him every so often to see if hes okay.

I was actually babysitting for this woman once and she told me to let her one year old son 'cry it out' so I did and he cried for like 45 minutes before bed, but she said it was fine he does it every night.
