Hi - Ok will probably get shot here for this but am seriously considering the crying it out method....my 21 mth old has never been a great sleeper but its now at crisis point - tried all the usual patting, sitting on floor, moving away gubbins and have now decided the only way forward is to move into the downstairs spare room and let him get on with it. I had a seasoned mum of 4 round today and he wouldnt go for his nap and she made me leave him - it took 30 mins before the screaming stopped....she even offered to hold my hand through the whole nighttime process but has a newborn so cant. I am OK in principle to do this - at end of tether and marriage will be over before much longer we are both so shattered....but I cant stand the screaming and always cave in. If you have tried it and it worked how long did it take and also do you think I should move DS into the spare room so as not to upset the neighbours or us move into it and sod the neighbours....I am worried if we move him rooms he may act up again once we have moved him into his own room again...or do you think that will make no difference. It is definate attention seeking as he stops and starts and when he hears you on the landing usually calms down....DH is quite against doing this but will be telling him tonight that he can carry on getting up to him or he does the crying it out with me......HELP!!!! Advice pleae - I am going insane!
