I don't mean to wreck your thread here, Derwood, but I actully have a similar question.
About 3 weeks ago my 8 month old son had come down with some sort of stomach virus, along with his teething, he had a fever of 101-103 for 4 days, and then with his teething, he just wasen't sleeping for about 2 weeks. He'd go to bed at his regular time which is around 9, then up at 2, then up at 4, then up at 7:30. He had been sleeping all night till this point. Now, he's up every night at these times, and if we go in there, get him.. Sit in a chair he will go back to sleep, you put him down, he cries. So, tonight, right now.. I can't sleep with him crying, I finally just told my wife to put ear plugs in, and let him cry. He's only doing this because we let him do it for those 2-2 1/2 weeks.
I just feel bad.
But it is the right thing to do? And how long should I let him cry?
