hi, hugs, you ds is so cute, hard not to rescue, i never ever let my dd's cry more than 10 minutes at any one time, i always always stood outside their door, i timed everything to the second, with both my girls they cried to start, listen for the pauses, if you hear pauses this is good, this is them settlingm, i always started the watch again from a pause, when i went in i just did the resettling routine again, everyone has a different kinda one, i believe the cry at the beginning most time is the marta cry, at first it is loud and strong, do what your heart tells you, to me i always said crying more than 10 minutes is cio, it wasn't until i did this with dd2 that things improved and improved quickly, before that i jumped in far to soon, if it normally takes one minute you are doing well, if last night it took 30 mintues it might just have been a one of, what was different about yesterday? i always always found if dd2 went down hard she woke constently during the night, i could wage a bet on it, here for you, sylvia
