Hi J.,
My goodness, I feel horrible for you. I know what it is like when your exhausted and can't get a good night sleep. I have three boys (8,6, and 4 mos.)and have been in the situation you now find yourself in. It is unbearable to let them cry for hours but it is also miserable with noone sleeping. J., you know what has to be done. You control your childrens habits. It may be the hardest thing you have to do, but you have to let them cry it out. When he wakes up as you lay him down you just walk out of the room and close the door. Turn the monitor off at night if you can't stand to listen to it anymore. You know he is safer crying in his crib than sleeping with an exhausted mom. Let him learn to sooth himself to sleep. Give it 3 or 4 nights and you will thank yourself in the end.
