I bought the Ferber book a couple weeks ago and was able to read most of it but pretty much can't get myself to sleep train lo. He's 6 months old and dh and I have tried to let him CIO a little but the cries only escalate instead of stop. One night we let him cry for an hour with checks and by the end he was quietly sobbing. I broke down and couldn't do it anymore. So I bought a book but still can't bring myself to sleep train.

He wakes up 2-3 times a night on a good day and upwards of 6 when it's bad (usually due to illness or teething). We have a bedtime routine and I nurse him to sleep every night. He always falls asleep without fuss and snuggles right up to me. I love this time even though I'm slightly sleep deprived. Am I doing this all wrong? Or am I over analyzing baby sleep?

it will eventually get better?
