I am sure that the constant crying might get on some of your nerves as well. Is it okay to let the baby cry it out sometimes? I mean, does one always have to pick up the baby when he/she cries? What about when you're sleepy and it's late at night, you put him/her in the crib and he/she starts crying? Is it okay to ever just let the baby cry him/herself to sleep? Please, I need to know.

If you try to pick them up each time they cry, they will learn crying gets what they want and cry more.
My son is 14 but as a baby I let him cry himself to sleep and soon after I learned I dont have to pick him up each time he cries things started calming down at bed time. It wont be overnite but give it time and he will learn to go to sleep on his own
It might be good to first make a dr appt to make sure there is nothing like pain like ear infection making him cry, but after you know everythings ok, just let him cry himself to sleep
just my thoughts, hope it helps
