Hi, first time mum with a nearly 9 month old. He goes down ok but then wakes frequently throughout the night, sometimes at hourly intervals and we are exhausted, hence trying the Ferber Method.
My question is for the intervals, I know for the 1st night it's 3 mins, 5, 10 and 10 thereafter but is that throughout the night or for each crying episode, ie until he stops? Do I need to start over 3,5,10 etc each time or just carry on with the 10 min intervals? Any positive stories also welcomed from a very frazzled mum, thanks in advance.
