I have sort of a policy that if you wake up crying, you must still be tired. This doesn't apply to tiny ones, of course...
I would warn your closest neighbors that you are sleep training a couple little ones, and there may be a bit of fussing for a few days (like all of next week..lol). Maybe they're not even home during the day....
How long would you let them cry?
