I am after some advice on what sleep training method worked for you. Since DS2 was born I have got Gina Ford book, Tracy Hogg (Baby Whisperer), Alison Scott Wright and Elizabeth Pantley. However all 4 are totally different and wondered what methods people have used successfully to get their DC to sleep.
DS2 is 14 weeks old and has reflux but this is under control, however since birth I have got him into bad habits to get him to sleep due to the pain he was in. Now he is not is pain I need to get him to be able to sleep better at night and nap better as currently he naps in a swing and at night it is taking ages to settle down (last night took 3 1/2 hours)and stay asleep. I feed him once at night (formula fed) but wakes every couple of hours (not our of hunger) and ends up in our bed so I can get some sleep. He does have a dummy but that sometimes doesnt help him go to sleep.
I dont really want to go down CC route as I dont want this to affect DS1 and plus I think 14 weeks is too early for CC, although I am not against this method as it has worked brilliantly for DS1 when he was about 13 months old. I just want to be able to put him in his cot and for him to be able to self settle without me having to rock him, carry him or keep putting dummy in.
Can anyone share what they did and how long it took as I am going back to work in 5 weeks would like to get DS2 into a good sleep routine by then but just at a loss where to start. I am not expecting him to sleep through just yet.
