How long did it take to sleep train

[Posesinavase]

I know babies are all different but curious to know how long it took to sleep train your baby.

What age where they and what method did you use.

I have a 6month old who is a nightmare at bedtime

DD2 was about 15 months old when I was so desperately sleep deprived I tried the controlled crying method. It took only a few nights, maybe 4 or 5, to see an imprivement but then a few days later she was poorly and it was back to square one. I just couldn't bring myself to go through it all again. A year on and she only wakes once in the night at which point I bring her into bed with me and we both have a great night sleeping next to each other until morning.

We did it at 4 months after she had been in her room a few weeks. Took about a week, and she started sleeping 8pm-7am.

Before this she used to sleep till 4/5ish anyway, and would go back to sleep without wanting a feed

Oh and method we did controlled crying, and introduced a comforter blanket. She has always had a dummy since 2 weeks old

We use cc, with dd1 she went from hourly to once a night for feeding in 3 nights. Currently on with DD2 and she's gone from hourly to waking twice in 4 nights

Meant to say both times 8 months

7 months and one night of cc

What happens at nighttime @Posesinavase ? Does she take ages to settle? Does she wake a lot?

My DD is 5.5 months old and sleeps through (9 hours on average), can sometimes be a bit of a pain to settle but other times just conks out. She was 5 weeks premature and has been sleeping long stretches since she was 3 months.

What I think has worked for me is feeding her every 2.5-3 hours in the day as I heard babies need a set number of calories so if you top them up every 3 hours (max), they will be able to go a long stretch overnight. I even wake her to feed her if it reaches 3 hours. Last feed 7pm and she usually wakes around 4/5am for a big feed and then back to sleep for 1.5-2 hours. I've been too scared to try the dream feed as didn't want to mess with a good thing!!

@nervousftm he wont go to sleep alone but stays in a really light sleep for hours usually sleeps 1 - 2hrs in arms in a light sleep wakes feeds and goes back to sleep then any where between 30mins to 1.5hrs will go into a deeper sleep and can be put down. Then can wake up every 1.5hrs to every 4hrs usually around the 2hr mark. The nights although frequent I'm not trying to tackle its just getting him to bed in the evening.

If I put him down awake he just screams and if I put him down whole in light sleep he wakes instantly sometimes it's like he's had a nap and is wide awake good to go for another couple of hours and no amount of rocking or nursing will get him back to sleep.

I'm a bit reluctant to do cio/cc but I don't think it'd work anyway. I have old ds and if I need to sort him I put ds2 down and he will just continue to keep screaming and screaming until I lift and nurse. Even if I keep popping back to him not reassurance works.

For those who did cio/cc what was the problem you where fixing?

Also @nervousftm my ds rarely goes longer than 2.5hr between feeds in the day time.
