Last night, my husband supported me in trying Ferber Method. We did it properly and gave in after 50 minutes. The screaming and crying became more intense as the time passed.

He doesn't want to do it again (at least for now). So, we are going to take night shifts (I was doing 100% of night care 9/10 evenings).

We are following some sleep advice from the last post. Fixing wake windows, moved crib into nursery instead of our bedroom, etc. Thank y'all so much.

Onto the sleep...it was pretty bad last night after quitting Ferber. I requested that my husband take the entire night shift afterwards so he could see how frequently our son wakes up & how he refuses the crib every single time.

Today, my husband was so exhausted that he had to leave work early. I'm glad he is seeing what I've been going through. My FIL made a comment this morning about all the crying but completely understands why we're sleep training. My MIL has been ignoring us.

All is well. I think we should see progress soon, but I'm not sure. I'd really like to give Ferber a week to work, but I can't do that with zero support.

Update: It looks like I'll be starting either Ferber or CIO tomorrow night. Maybe tonight. I have zero help (my husband is too tired from taking care of him last night 😒), and I've been trying to put my son down in his crib for 5 hours now. I'm terrified at how exhausted I'll be tomorrow. I refuse to bed share again. I might just put him in his crib, lay down on the ground next to him & let him cry to sleep. It's only midnight and I don't think I'll last much longer with Hulu and reddit to keep me awake.
