ferberizing

Last night, Chris went to sleep by himself with only three minutes of mild fussing. Tonight, however, he put out five minutes of blood curdling, gurgling screaming. I then went in for his five minute check to reassure and console him, and after that he settled down and went to sleep. I hope that doing this has no long lasting negative consequences, such as learning to hate the crib, or a lack of trust in humanity. Hopefully he will just learn how to go to sleep on his own.
