Sleep training/ no cry solution

[Moomin1000]

hi my lo is 26 weeks old and waking 1-2 hrly at night I've been following the attachment parenting style but we are at our wits end!!!! Something gas to change lo currently sleeps in a co-sleeping cot attached to our bed! Has any one tried this method? And how does it work?
ThNks for advice

I read the no cry solution and although the ideas were good I needed something a little more structured.

I bought the book 'teach your child to sleep' which went through the 'gradual withdrawl method'. We used this with DS1 who was 9 months at the time and waking every 1-2 hours. It did take a couple of months and he did cry for about 20minutes or so but we never left him alone when he was crying. I did a similar thing with DS2 and DS3 and although I have not been as structured with them it worked in the end.

Oh lorissparkle what do you have to do with that technique?

26 weeks old and waking 2-hourly for breastfeeds is perfectly normal. I'd expect this to carry on until at least nine months and possibly 11.

We started to by teaching DS1 to go to sleep without bf (although somethimes he fell asleep bf so we let him). But instead we held him, rocked him and sang with him, after about three nights (but sometimes more) we then did not rock him just held him, after a while we led with him and held him and sang with him, then we sat next to him and held his hand, then we sat with him, then we gradually moved out of the room until we were able to just say goodnight. As well as this we gradually increased the length of times between feeds so initially I would feed him 2 hourly but if he waked more frequently I would hold and rock him instead. After a couple of days I increased it by 15 minutes and carried on increasing it gradually. If at anytime he settled back off but woke up quickly i would think he really does need a feed. Also if he was poorly I might take a few steps back and give him more support to go to sleep. Basically we are right soft touches but the technique does work,
