LO is a little over 7 months old and we are giving CIO a try tonight (after 5 night wakings last night). She is able to fall asleep on her own for naps and when we put her down in her crib for the night, but she's been waking up every 2-3 hours to comfort nurse for the past 2 months or so.

She was STTN from 2 months to 5 1/2 months, so the sudden night wakings kind of caught us off guard, so I would go in and nurse her each time she cried (only after 15-30 seconds of crying, usually!), so this is going to be a hard habit to break.

We put her down at 7:15p, and right on schedule-- she started crying around 10:05. It's been 10 minutes and she's still going strong... but pausing for breaths, followed by a little whimpering, followed by some "MAMAMAMMAMA" (KILLS me), and some more crying. I'm *hoping* that she'll fall back asleep within the next 10 minutes or so?

I'm not planning on doing checks (when we tried this before, the checks made her more upset) at any set increments, but I will swoop her up as soon as her crying changes to "OMG MOMMMM/inconsolable." Any other tips/suggestions? I'm actually feeling OK about it so far, but the hubs was kind of against it. I'm trying to stay optimistic (better for all of us in the long run! should only be 3 days-ish of torture!), but after re-reading Mrs. Bee's "When to Sleep Train" blog post (http://www.hellobee.com/2012/03/23/when-to-sleep-train/), it looks like we couldn't have picked a worse time. Whoops.

Wish us luck!
