So after a few weeks of my daughter going down for naps/ bed quite easily... We are now into screaming each time placed in the crib. I've heard this is quite common at 4 or 5 months--- due to???
I've regressed myself, endless rocking, nursing etc. but have the same results. I am now doing a more hard-core Ferberizing... ie: 5 mins, 10 minutes then 15 minutes of crying (with comforting in between). This approach definitely goes against all of your maternal instincts, but seems to be working. She usually cries herself to sleep during the 10 minute stretch. Quite sad, but I am not getting up ten times a night to play the soother game either. She seems to be figuring things out... for now.
