How long?

Should I let my 7 week old "cry it out" to go to sleep?

yes. i started this with stetson at 8 weeks. now he is 11 weeks and will fall asleep on his own any time i put him in his crib. it's such a RELIEF especially with other kiddos running around. i just make sure he is full and otherwise happy. it's a freeing thing though.

how long would he cry, Lauren?

june would scream without ceasing... but she's not really normal.
clementine, 30-45. might pipe down in between, but that is total to fall asleep.

sorry to just now reply....i let him cry for about 20-30 minutes and then he'd drift off. now, if he cries, it's only 5 minutes and sometimes doesn't cry at all.
