DD , at around 10/11 months, was waking numerous times a night and only returning to sleep with a bottle. We went cold turkey and within a week she was going through 7-7 no wakings.
DH has been away for a few weeks (DD is now 13 months) and hs recently returned. Since he has come.back, DDs sleep has really gone to pot. She was woken numerous times.on each of the five nights he has been home, the first night of which was dreadful and resulted in her not settling to sleep til 4am.
As we did the 'cold turkey' not going into her thing a few months back, DH is of the opinion that we need to do that again and is pressing for me to leave her to cry. If she is getting herself very worked up I do go.into her but am made to feel like I am 'breaking the rules' by DH.
I should add that most of the time DH was away, I took leave from work as my shift patterns are not compatable with childcare and obviously DH wasnt here to pick up the slack.
