my doctor used the 5, 10, 15 method, how it works is basically when he gets up and he cries you let him cry for 5 minutes than you go in there and say "honey you are okay" give him a kiss and then leave the room, than if he is still crying after 10 minutes go in and do the same, and than after 15 and repeat if necessary, trust me it works,(my son did the same thing at age 9 months) and it is all about trust and he is testing you to see if you are still there and not going to leave him. babies can have trust issues which seems odd cuz they are so young but they know what they are doing. I agree with the rest of the moms before he goes to bed make sure he has eaten enough and has that overnight diaper so you know in your mind he is okay and he is just testing you. best of luck!
