Ok, I am a COWARD!!!! I have nursed and co-slept with my wonderful son for a YEAR now! However, he is a very restless sleeper now and it is time to move him to his crib--at night as well as for naps--so I can get some sleep. I have weaned him almost all the way--he just nurses a little in the morning and at night, but I don't need to nurse him to get him to sleep. In fact, it seems like I don't have to do much but be close by to get him to sleep. Still, since I have started this determined effort to get him to self-soothe and go to sleep on his own, it has been a never-ending storm of heartbreaking sobbing that I just can't take--and since his father and my older teenager must get up really early, I had to be considerate and stop the madness after 4-5 straight crying hours.
I have read all the current books about it and have tried the 3-days cry-to-sleep method with NO success twice already. It is painful.
There has got to be another method. I will try anything. Please help
