I'm not trying to be mean. My offer still stands as it did early on. If you can't stand to hear him scream, call me, I'll come over and you can go sit outside and I'll make sure he's fine. It may take a week or so, but I guarantee you, you will win.
Speedy, I agree with Catt. It will take all your strength.....but you have to let him cry, scream, whatever he does.....just hang in there.
Take Catt up on her generous offer, and get out for a ride or a walk or something. If you have friends that support you through these times, take advantage of their generosity.
Do you have a DVD player? Baby Mozart, Bach, whatever....those worked wonders for one of my grand-daughters. Just keep it on "repeat" so it plays very softly, all night long.

K-Jo....do not pick up your baby every time he cries.
