How do I teach my 6 month old LO to sleep without nursing, and in his own crib? I don't really want to resort to the cry it out method. Thanks.

Is there any way you can reconsider your decision to make him sleep alone? Your baby is still very yound and totally depend on you for comfort and security. However, i agree with your opinion not to use cry it out method. It'll affect your baby's emotion. Jasmine's advice is very good. As in other matters related to babies, we must have a lot of patience. All the best!
