trying the cio method :(

[Raquel]

welll this afternoon i just laid boys down and went outside for 10-15 min helping my friend take something to her car and i came in boys asleep. not sure if they cried i had the windows open but i live by the highway so prob just didnt hear them. so tonight i decided to try it again...
laid them down at 7:22pm i went in once 10 min later and just rubbed their heads and told them it was okay then i didnt go in until about 7:50 and k was asleep but h still screaming bloody murder. i felt so bad for him so i picked him up walked around with him for less than 5 min laid him back down. cried another 1-3 min and now its 7:57 and its quiet. lets hope this lasts all night. at least i know now they can sleep through the bloody murder screaming

well k just woke up screaming bloody murder i was in the bath and though dh would rush to him and rock him back to sleep.NOPE he actually is realizing what i'm doing!!! yipee!! so i picked him up cuz he seemed like he was hurting rubbed some orajel on his gums and put him back to sleep. cried 1-3 min max. and now i dont hear anything. poor kids. its so hard but i have to do this. i do!! i need sleep they need sleep but i know they wake up cuz they hurt and want mommy to comfort them but then after they arent teething they expect the same. it just sucks cuz they were awesome before teeth.

I know its hard. Good luck. I finally had to break down and do it with Addi. She is now only crying for about 10 minutes a night. That first night was the hardest. You can do it. I had to leave the house and go into the yard the first night so that I wouldn't go get her. You can do it momma, think of all the sleep you will get.

i havent heard a peep in 30 minutes since i put k back to bed. i'm really praying this is all they are gonna cry. i know they will prob wake up but its better than it has been

[Christina]

hope they are sleeping soundly!

Good Luck Raquel.. Keeping my fingers, toes, legs, arms and everything crossed that it will work out for you.

h woke up about 1030-11ish i gave him some oragel and put him back to bed and they both slept until 6!!!so then i grabbed k and layed in bed with him and went back to sleep until 730. it was nice!!! now if i can just get them to sleep til 7-8 and not wake at 6. its weird they dont have a bottle since 7pm and in the am they will drink 2-4 oz and thats it. i'd think they would be starving
