[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 338728, member: 3907"] Maxey, I'm here in the trenches with you too. I have 2 5-month-old twins who are very mummy-dependent. I've just gone back to work in the last few days, and they're playing "where's mummy" every night because I'm not home with them during the day anymore. I think that, all physical things checking out, that crying it out is probably what you'll need to do. Rather than the strict cry-until-they-pass-out-from-exhaustion thing, have you thought about the Baby-Whisperer/Supernanny approach? They recommend: - When your baby is in her crib crying, go in, make no eye contact, pat and comfort in the crib until the baby settles down, and then leave the room again. Don't pick your baby up while you're doing this. It may take hours and hours the first night, and be even worse the second night, but after a few nights, she may just learn to fall asleep in her crib. I had to do this with Little easy child (now 8), and it was the hardest 3 nights ever, but after that it was done, and he's been a great sleeper ever since. Sending hugs and strength, and hoping that you find a solution that works for you soon. Trinity [/QUOTE]
