DS is 2.4, he has not slept through since he was 5 months, bar a few odd nights. He doesnt nap, goes to bed at about 6pm, has a bottle and a story, then I sit there and read a book while he falls asleep, which takes about 4 minutes. He wakes up throughout the evening until I go to bed and take him in with me.
My problem is - I dont want him waking in the evening and interrupting my alone time and I dont want him in my bed any more!
I have just had a sleep specialist come over and she told me he wakes in the night because I sit beside him as he falls asleep. So she has told me to do the supernanny thing where I kiss him goodnight then leave, then just put him back into bed with no eye contact/talking and leave til he falls asleep. Then do this all night whenever he wakes.
Im fine with this, but Im just wanting to know other peoples experience I guess. How long will it take (I know all kids are different but is it gonna be a week or a year??) and does it work on all children?
Please share your experiences :)
