Did GSU *REALLY* just call your child a pet? Your child is not a pet. Don't follow that advice and treat it like one. How insulting!
Don't leave your child alone when they are screaming at night. The reason the child might stop is because they have lost trust in you. Why would you want that?
The first stage of Erikson's theory on development is "Trust vs. Mistrust." The infant and toddler stages are a time for the child to realize that, when they need you the most, you are going to be there for them. If you loose that developmental stage at this point, it will carry through for the rest of their lives.
Let me say that again - If you loose that developmental stage at this point, it will carry through for the rest of their lives.
What kind of toys does your child have in his crib? A stuffed animal and a toy similar to these:

may help him if he wakes up. He may be able to keep himself occupied and not become as afraid.
If you wear perfume, try lightly scenting a blanket with it and leaving it in his crib. Smell is the strongest association senses. That may help him quite a bit.
Does he have any lighting or is the room pitch black? Try a night light as this may help him feel more comfortable.
Remember that, at this age, if a child cannot see you, they might think you are no longer there. They do not necessarily have a concept yet that if you're not in their vision or sight of any of the other senses, you still exist. He is crying out of fear sometimes that he is alone. Give him the reassurance every time that you are there when you hear him. It is a LOT!!! of work, but the payoff is there in knowing you are doing what is best for your child.
I hope the other suggestions help some.

Are you going to circumcise your baby boy?
Proud Momm
Why or why not?
Answer
No national or international medical association recommends routine circumcision.
No. It is a cosmetic surgery, medically unnecessary. It is extremely painful (see the video link at the end of my message). Genital Integriy, Intact Genitals, Rights to an Intact Body are for all.
If you are religious, "God Designed. Mother Approved. Revision is Circumcision"
Every baby boy on the planet is born with a foreskin and yet very few have them removed. The foreskin is a perfectly normal natural body part.
It is illegal to circumcise baby girls. Would you be asking this question if your baby is a girl? The answer is probably no. So, the answer to would "I amputate normal healthy body parts of my baby boy,at the risk of death, perform cosmetic elective surgery on my perfect newborn?" The answer is no.
Doctors tell you the amputated Lie when it comes to Circumcision. I beg you to learn the WHOLE TRUTH.
Every YEAR, more than 100 babies die from Circumcision. If this was a product, a toy, a crib, stroller, bottle for sale, on the market, for babies, it would have been recalled long ago.
Here is a video made by doctors for doctors on circumcision.

â¢No national or international medical association recommends routine circumcision.
â¢Only the USA circumcises the majority of newborn boys without medical or religious reason.
â¢Medicalized circumcision began during the 1800s to prevent masturbation, which was believed to cause disease.
â¢Today's parents are learning that the foreskin is a normal, protective, functioning organ.
â¢Today's parents realize circumcision harms and has unnecessary risks.
â¢Circumcision denies a male's right to genital integrity and choice for his own body.
