Cry It Out

I'm posting this because I am currently listening to the whimpering of my baby girl as she fights sleep in her crib.  We started letting her cry it out a few nights ago, and it worked AMAZINGLY.  The first night she cried for like an hour before she finally fell asleep, the second night she cried for about 15 minutes, then slept a 4 hour stretch, and also napped better the next day.  Last night she cried for a couple minutes, and slept through the night!  Well, she slept 6 hours straight, which is considered through the night.

It's hard to listen to her cry, but we are all so much happier now that she can put herself to sleep.  Except, right now she just won't calm down.  Maybe she wasn't as tired as I thought??
