DS is 17 months. He goes to sleep on me after his bedtime routine at about 7pm. It takes about two mins for him to fall asleep in a dark room on me - no rocking etc.
He wakes most nights, usually around 3am. Most of the time he will go back to sleep quickly after a drink but sometimes he 'gets up' for the day, leaving him and us exhausted.
DH has wanted to try controlled crying (Ferber approach) for a while now but I am too soft. He got up with DS at 3am today and feels we should do this now as we are all getting so tired.
I'd be interested in results (good and bad) and views on this please. We do need to fix it.
