I can tell you, it's crying and heartache based on my personal experience on CIO. Hiaz. I cried of course. Hearing my BB Seth cried for almost 45 minutes on the first day CIO is being introduced. Ok, I am using, the altered FERBERIZING method.
Chronological events recorded:
12th Jan 2006 (1st day of FERBERIZING)
10.45pm - Put BB Seth on bed, read him his Lullaby and Goodnight Cloth Book, Sang him his routine lullabies. Greeted him good night and left the room.
11.06pm - Starts of his cries.
11.15pm - I went in and pat him, soothed him and coaxed him to sleep. He struggles and refused. I picked him up and hugged him
11.30pm - Olive Tree went in to do as I did previously. We prayed in the other room, I cried and so so heartache.
11.35pm - BB Seth was too tired and slept half way on bed and baby cot. (His cot is adjoined to our bed)
1.00am - BB Seth woke up crying again.
1.15am - I coaxed him back to sleep.
3.00am - He woke up cried again, I breast-fed him a little and then unlatched him. He goes back to sleep. Too tired to protest, I guess.
5.00am - He woke up, cried and cried, I almost give in to nursing him, Olive Tree said don't give up since we have come this far. So I didn't nurse him. BB Seth cried till 6.30am, fell back to sleep.
13th Jan 2006 (2nd day of FERBERIZING)
9.00pm - Routine, read bed time story with lullabies singing.
9.05pm - Olive Tree went into room to check BB Seth and pat him.
9.35pm - BB Seth asleep. Prior to that, Olive Tree said, "Are we being very cruel?"
1.00am - BB Seth stirred in his sleep. I breast fed him a bit and he fell back to sleep.
3.00am - Stirred a little, cried and again fell back to sleep with a longer duration of cries.
5.00am - Woke up, cried and then self soothe till he went back to sleep.
6.00am - I breast fed BB Seth as Olive Tree said he'll probably be hungry and I am so engorged too!
14th Jan 2006 (3rd day of FERBERIZING)
9.30pm - Routine, read bed time story. Sang lullabies.
9.35pm - BB Seth cried with intervals. Fell asleep shortly. AMAZED!!
All these will not work if we never have prayed to Jesus! We always say a prayer before BB Seth goes to sleep. :)

Thank you, Lord for giving us the Strength to go through all these.
