I'm not really for CIO sleep-training, but I do let LO fuss and cry a little when I can tell (in a way only mom's know) she'll end up asleep sometimes. Usually, I would say LO is a tension-increaser. Flailing, banging her legs and arms, arching her back, just plain-old-pissed-off more and more.

But one of the mom's in our playgroup keeps recommending The Sleepeasy Solution. I've read mixed reviews on it being a "CIO" method vs. it's not really like CIO.

Anyone use this method and can recommend it? Pros? Cons?

I understand it has "checks", but K actually tension-increases every time I try to do a check or pat her when she is crying. But times (like tonight), when I can tell she is just tired crying, I just leave her, close the door, watch the monitor, and she was asleep in 10 min. If only it always worked that way.
