Phew. Just spent two hours getting a VERY pissed off dd to sleep. She's 18 months and has always been fed to sleep, and wakes frequently in the evening and night. We co-sleep and decided not to sleep train until she was over one, we tried a couple of times before then but just didn't feel comfortable with it.
In September we had some really good success doing the Jay Gordon method, but only managed part one before an illness in the family disrupted the whole thing.
We've resolved (in a new year way) to crack it again - we may even move her into her own room once she's sleeping better).
It was really useful for me to share my progress here and could be useful for others to see how we do. Let me know if anyone's doing anything similar at the mo.
Last time we chose our seven hour period to start at 11pm. This time I've decided to start it anytime she wakes after first going to sleep. It's just too knackering to do sleep training in the middle of the night and I'm figuring once she's remembered how to fall asleep off the breast she'll be able to do it anytime. Right?
