Suri knocks out promptly at 8pm and wakes up by 7am – on most days. We’ve not attempted the cry-it-out method again after failed tries when she was younger and still needs help to fall asleep. At night, we ignore her cries thereby allowing her to self-settle. This is the only time she’s able to fall back asleep on her own. It’s not easy especially when you share the same room and can hear her every whimper but we comfort ourselves saying that this works better for everyone in the long run.  Thank goodness she still greets us with a smile in the morning.
