She would have cried for hours if we let her and it never got better on subsequent nights. I hope it works for you though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-cio-to-work#post-182185 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 17:26:27 +0000 Rubies 182185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took a good two weeks before the loud crying turned into half-crying. Then another two weeks for whimpers and whining. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-cio-to-work#post-182169 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 17:04:54 +0000 BabyBruins 182169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How many nights did it take for CIO to work? We are heading into night #7 and he still cries for 30-60 minutes (with check ins) before he finally falls asleep. How long did it take before you could put the baby down and just get a few cries/whimpers before they fell asleep? The constant hard crying is killing me, but I'm reluctant to give up because:<br /> a) we still have a problem - he won't fall asleep without a very complicated bouncing/holding/swaying/rocking dance and after all that he still sometimes wakes up when we put him in his crib<br /> b) then I have made him do all this CIO for nothing and will probably have to subject him to it again at some point</p> <p>What are your experiences with letting them CIO? </p>
