Yes, how old is she? You don't want to do CIO on a young infant/newborn or baby. I have also heard that CIO actually changes their brain? You might want to check that. But, it does not teach them anything nurturing.
IF she is still a newborn... and under 3 months old, try putting her in a "Moses Basket" or bassinet instead. Many babies... don't initially like cribs...because it is a wide open space, and they were used to being confined in a "womb" their whole 9 months. This is what we did with my son, and he LOVED his Moses Basket. Then, when he was older and outgrew it, we put him in the crib.. .and by then, he transitioned fine.
Or, you can try swaddling her... that is what we had to do with my firstborn.
Keep in mind that a baby has involuntary reflexes...meaning, they have what is called a "startle reflex"...their arms and legs flail because they are not developed in their motor skills yet, nor are they able to do things at will, yet. THUS...many times this alone with wake a baby and they are unable to sleep... because as they sleep, they "jolt" awake and their arms/legs will "jolt" as well. It scares them. Plain and simple. And it wakes them up. THUS... rocking them to sleep, holding them in your arms is a great comfort for a baby...because it is like being in a "womb" AND it (you) are "helping" their body to be calm and wrapped by your arms...thus, lessening the "startle" jolting. AND they like to be next to their Mommy...is it a bonding for them, and they love that. It is only natural. It is comforting.
You cannot "MAKE" a baby sleep ALL night, if they can't nor are able to. ALL babies are different, with their own time-lines and needs, and conditions and development.
For at least the first year of life... they will go through various sleep patterns, or issues, or changes. It's all normal, unless they have colic or other medical concerns.
ALSO, make sure she is fed on demand...and at least very 3 hours. If a baby is hungry, they will NOT sleep....and they need to be fed during the night too, if this is what they need...not what the Parent "needs." At growth spurts, they also need to be fed more and more often, because they are simply growing and need more intake. It's just survival and developmental.
there are so many opinions and Moms try sooooo many things. Each baby is different. No baby is the same. They all cry.
Keep in mind, that "sleeping through the night" means sleeping AT LEAST 6 hours or more straight. This is for babies, not by "adult" standards of what sleep is.
Or, ask your Pediatrician... they all have their opinions too.
All the best,
Susan
