My 17 month was previously a great sleeper, would fall asleep whilst having her milk or more recently settled herself with no assistance.
Now...she cries and cries and cries and wants someone in all the time (I appreciate some babies have been like this for ages and we are lucky to have got to 17 month but now its hellish).
Currently we settle her and leave, she immediately starts crying when she is left, we leave it 4 minutes then one of us goes in and settles her, then the minute she is left she will start crying again, we repeat at 8 minutes and then 12minutes...and basically she cries herself to sleep.
Basically are we doing the right thing? What else can we try?
My DH is not convinced of this strategy but without one of us staying with her and eating into our evening I don't know what else to try.....
