i just let her cry it out

I just let Juliet cry for 24 minutes straight to get her to sleep in her crib. Ugh, it was awful! For the past few weeks she's been waking about 20 minutes after I nurse her to sleep, finding herself in the crib, and screaming until I take her back in my bed. That location is no longer safe since she's scooting backward and rolling all over the place. Plus, she's only sleeping 20-30 minute naps twice a day when she typically sleeps 2-3 hour naps at daycare.
Despite my rationalizing that this is good for her, it still sucks. She fell asleep 45 minutes ago and her breathing is still jerky from crying so hard. I wonder what will happen after the next feeding.

Good luck!! I know when he cries how much it tears at my heart, so I can imagine how that has to feel for you.
TTC #1 5/16/11 = BFP 14 DPI / TTC #2 11/16/12 = No O; 4/12/13= BFN; 6/9/13 = BFP!! (11 DPI) - MC 5wk5dys / TTC#3 3 BFN's and 4th try 10/21/13 = BFP!!!! (Squinter at 10dpi!)
If Juliet is not napping well, could she be overtired?
And as for the nights, could you push your bed up against the wall so that she can still be safe in bed with you?
Now, maybe after a week of napping in his own room during the day, he can sleep there during the night as well . . . .
I am proud of you for being strong. There comes a time when you just have to draw a line in the sand. It's best done when they are young enough to bend to their parents will. I wish you continued good luck!
