Tell me.

Very interested to hear from people how they approached night sleep of their babies and toddlers. And very interested to see how much cultural differences there might be, so if you are happy to share your cultural background that would be great. For example I’m from Central Europe and lived in the UK for almost two decades.

Did you sleep train and if so what form of sleep training?

Did you co-sleep and if so from what up to what age?

If they already have, when did your baby / child start sleeping through the night?

Just FYI there is a sleep section on this site. You might get better feedback there.

baby 1: ferber at 6 months
bany 2: sleep trained in as much as I only ever put them in the cot, if they cried I picked them up, soothed them, then put them down awake to fall asleep themselves. Right from birth. Has been great.

co sleeping could actually be used as a form of torture for me as I see nothing nice whatsoever about having a baby clinging on to my nipples for hours throughout the night then kicking me / head butting me once they reach a year / toddler time

Mine slept through (7 to 7) from about 7 weeks.

I've never sleep trained. We lie with him until he goes to sleep and then put him in his own bed. We don't make a big deal of it, he goes up at the same time every night, falls asleep within about 5 minutes, sleeps through the night.

My husband and I are both British, born here and always lived here.
