DH and I are at our wits end with our DD's sleep and in the next few days will be trying controlled crying. No judgement please - I know CC isn't popular on MN but we're out of options.
I have a couple of questions which I can't seem to find the answer to, so I'm hoping someone here might have the experience to help me.
- DD currently sleeps overnight and for about half of her naps in the bedside crib in our bedroom. The rest of her naps are in the carrier or pram. Do we need to let her have some naps in the cot in her room to get her used to it as a sleep environment before we do CC? Or do we just put her in there the first night we do CC?
- I've seen conflicting advice on whether to do CC at bedtime only or whether to do it for naps too after the first night. What are people's experiences of this?
I want to make this as effective as possible for everyone involved, so any advice will be greatly appreciated. I've posted in both Sleep and parenting for maximum traffic.DH and I are at our wits end with our DD's sleep and in the next few days will be trying controlled crying.
