so my lo was colicky. this lead me to picking him and soothing him with every wimper. He also is sleeping in my room, so out of exhaustion i picked him and nursed him to sleep if he woke up. well now he is 5.5 months and i am DONE!!!!!! BAby was getting up every 1-2hrs and taking hours to fall asleep with me rocking him! I am beyhond exhausted. with my first ds we cio and it was bad but not nearly this bad! I was prepared for it to take awhile …as he can cry and scream for over an hour just if he is tired! But i was not expecting 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so i did my normal routine, bath,pj, low lights, white noise. I nursed him to droswsy and laid him down next to me in bed so i could comfort him ..hoping i could control his crying by just being there to sing or pat but not to help him sleep!  Well after 3hrs i just got up and left because i was no help. also about 1.5hrs he got quiet and closed his eye for a sec and then was awake screaming again! well at the four hour mark he passed out for about 20mins or so. When he awoke i got him up nursed him  and put him in his bassent to sleep for the n ight. I was trying to break up the cio and start with just bedtime since i knew i could not do this all night long. I would start the  rest of the night once bed time was going well. any adv or hugs please! I plan on trying agin tonight, except i going to lay him in his crib because there was no point of my bed or me. is this a good idea? I should add he is use to sleeping in a rocker thing from fisher price. ITs shaped like a carseat and can rock. So he is not use to sleeping flat either!
