So my 11 month old is upstairs crying. It's bedtime. I've fed him, changed his diaper we played he's rubbing his eyes. Should I let him cry it out or should I try and put him to sleep. What do you think? Why or why not?.

if his needs are met, LET HIM CRY or else he will never learn how to soothe himself.
(picture a 20 y/o thinking the world somehow owes him something in life b/c he never learned to soothe his own needs)
Quoting connorsmom2009:
I'm kinda stuck he used to put himself to sleep but not anymore. I'm losed I don't know what to do.

Give it ten minutes tops, then pick him up. Babies don't seem to get it that it will be ok, they think mommy is never returning. I really believe that in most cases when babies CIO and seem soothed, it's not that they are actually soothed, they just gave up on anyone caring. They think no one is coming so they stop crying. The last time I let Emi CIO she was trembling and sighing in her sleep...heart breaking.
