I started changing Aiden's nightly routine a week ago. He did fairly well the first couple nights but on day 5 he screamed for an hour. Now he screams for 20 to 30 min. before he will go to bed. It breaks my heart hearing him but he needs to learn to go to bed on his own. I don't know how much longer I can do this. I feel horrible hearing him get like that. He is still screaming as I type this. I feel like I could start crying myself.
Quoting Kaya529:He just turned 11 months.
He had some issues so I kind of let him slide on the whole going to sleep on his own. Up until now we would go on walks to put him to sleep. Now I think he can handle learning to put himself to sleep. It is getting too cold to walk every night. He does not seem to agree.
Quoting MommyO2-6631:
Hiw old is he? And why do you want him to learn to go to sleep and by himself?

I have trouble walking away. I feel like I have to go through this with him. I may not be in the room but somehow I think he knows I am sitting outside the door. I am not sure why I think it makes it better but I do.

If it makes you feel better to cry, then do that! :) I've been there with both my boys. I've cried right along with them. A few times they stopped crying to watch me cry. Hang in there it will get better I promise! If you need to, just take a break and walk away. As long as they are in a safe place, feel free to go in your room, shut the door, and just chill or take a shower to calm down. You never know, they may be asleep when you are done
