Good question

I'd ask all mommies the same question. You need more then one opinion and then make your own choice. In my personal opinion, you're right. 5 months is a little early to insist he scream at night plus that's something you slowly build up. It's traumatic for the baby to scream all night. Babies cry when they want something, and not just attention. I would guess the up all night is not enough food in one sitting. Maybe breast feed first and maybe dad could hold a bottle for a while or something. I know my babies slept longer when they had more in their bellies, but that an old wives tale that worked in my case and not all babies cases.

I'm personally not fond of letting a baby cry it out - especially one that young. There was a study put out recently against those methods from Harvard - http://www.sleepnet.com/infant3/messages/534.html... )
