We travelled a lot in the first 7 months of our daughters life so it was hard to make a routine. Her mother breastfed her to sleep each night and whenever she woke up.
I've read a lot about sleep training and the different approaches ( time v. tears) and now, at ten months we decided to try.
Her mother stayed up until 4 with het, picking her up if she cried and putting her down again as soon as possible. Then I took over at 4 and she slept on my chest.
We got through three nights like that without milk until the morning, opening the curtains to the new day with the first feeding.
She still woke up about ten times and now in the fourth night she didn't sleep until 4.30.
Where do we go from here?
We're probably too sentimental to leave her to just cry it out. I understand that she needs to learn to fall asleep by herself. But she gets too upset for that to happen..
