It is too much to let a One Month old Baby cries to sleep. Babies at this age need cuddle and assurance and love the most as they are new to this beautiful world that they have yet to see properly! I train my baby to sleep on his own when he was like 12weeks old and it took about 2 weeks but before that i really carry him, walk him up and down and keep assuring him that we are around to love him, never forsake him. I guess he was so secure that when I train him to sleep he just sleep so well. he did cry a few times, I only pick him up after 5 minutes and asure him again that dad and mom are around to love him and put him down as soon as he stops. He is now 17 months, he sticks to routine more than i wanted him to and he never wanted us to cuddle him to sleep. He sleeps thru't he night when he was slightly over 3 months old until now with ocassonally waking up bcause of teething or hungry from not having enough solid in the day because we were out doing something.

My advise is to pick him up. Too much to let him alone crying at this tender age.
