Well, we did it. We let Saul cry it out. It is sort of heart breaking to listen to your baby cry. They cry because they need you. They cry because they are hurt. They cry because they woke up and they want to be with you. Is it curl to not answer their cry just so you can get a little much needed sleep? I'm sure there are many who would say yes, but for me it is what I felt I needed to do to handle the day better. Functioning with little sleep and trying to keep up with Elio and his five A.M. Wake up call was not working. I still feel guilty though. I read somewhere "no baby died from crying" and I had to remind myself that many times last night. I know I go against many peoples thoughts on what is the right way to get baby to sleep through the night, but he is just as happy and chipper as ever this morning.

Sleep is at a premium around here lately. Saul was a good sleeper, until latly. I'm not sure what exactly going on. Teething? Separation? Hunger? Does he have a cold? It has been going on long enough to assume it is a habit now. With my trouble with low milk supply, it is really hard for me think about sleep training. What if he is starving? I know if I want to sleep through the night, at some point I will have to give it a try. There are a few different schools of thought about how or when to get your baby to sleep through the night. Some say co-sleeping your baby will sleep better. I am not a co-sleeping mama. Though I can see the benefits of it. I was always worried I would accidentally smother the baby. This thought made me lose more sleep than the night waking. There is the low cry method, the no cry method the cry it out method, and everything in between. What it comes down to is when I am ready to try something and stick to it, even if it is hard. I am not ready to try anything today, we will see. I just keep hoping it will get better on it's own. We'll see....
