Getting to know your babies diverse cries from irritation to worry over the first few months of their life can help clue you in to when crying it out before sleep is the best option. During these first few months, you do everything you can to help console your crying infant from feeding to rocking her. As you progress into determining a baby sleep schedule to help her sleep through the night, you'll have to face the sometimes difficult task of letting your baby be upset and learn how to soothe herself. This task is easier said than done, and can be absolutely heartbreaking but necessary in helping her fall asleep on her own and sleep throughout the night. It's important to untangle your emotions from your baby's during this time, as her cries can evoke powerful feelings or memories from your own childhood. When your baby is crying, she is not feeling afraid or scared like older children might but rather angry or upset. She has been used to your help to get to sleep in the past, from rocking to singing at any hour of the night. This first limit on your newborn sleep patterns will be beneficial down the road. Letting your baby cry it out may be difficult for both of you, but is an important step in how to get baby to sleep better!
