Controlled Crying Method

I’m in need of some help for the controlled crying, positive stories only.. please post anything that you found helped your process and experience please and thank you. It’s night one for me and we are at 30 minutes of controlled crying, going in after short intervals, lying baby down, a few strokes and leaving confidently. He is not unwell not being sick.

    Hey! I found that with my little one, we had to do it in stages..

    I tried to just put him down and leave and let him cry but i found that most of the time he would vomit but how much he was crying. So i did this method:

    1- go in room, settle baby, put baby down and sit next to him for 5 mins and try leave. Repeat if needed

    2- do same  butt time sit at the door so baby sees you

    3- put baby down and leave

    By stage 2 he didn't look for me anymore... It took me about 10 days to complete everything which i found was great! 

    Now all i do is put him in his cot, let him drink a little and then leave. He might not fall asleep straight away, but he never cries...just sits there until he falls asleep!
