Hudson DOES cry. Logan and I always get comments on how great a baby Hudson is because they never hear him cry. Well, he certainly is a great baby! But he does cry when he gets really tired or hungry - more so when he is tired! Take a look...
This was a few weeks ago. We lost track of time and kept Hudson up a little past his bed time (which is typically around 9:30-10PM). Well, it was not a good thing because Hudson was cranky. I decided to snap a few pictures on the camera phone just so everyone (myself included) will always remember that H does cry. Doesn't that crying face just break your heart? Ours too. Don't worry, he didn't cry long after I picked him up, gave him kisses, fed him, and rocked him to sleep. He is a boy that knows what he wants and we love him to pieces!
Mom Question: Do/did you let your baby cry himself to sleep? At what age did you start this? I normally don't let Hudson cry himself to sleep at bed time just because I really enjoy rocking or nursing him to sleep, plus I think going to bed should be a calming experience. But I really want him to learn to put himself to sleep. I've tried letting him cry for nap time, but he only gets louder especially when he loses his pacifier (he is pretty dependent on it) and will only sleep for 30-45 minutes. Any ideas or suggestion on how to do this without using the crying technique? Or, should I just keep trying? I would love to hear your suggestions and what worked for you. Thanks!!
