CC when we move house? Fresh start or just too much upheaval for DS?

[SleepDeprivedGrumpyBum]

Ds will be 14 MO when we move house at the start of January and I'd really like to tackle his sleep issues whilst Dp has some time off work.

DS's sleep is dreadful, we've been co sleeping for about 7 months now (so for 7 months i've not spent a whole night with DP :( ) and co sleeping doesn't even help him sleep longer, he still wakes several times a night, the co sleeping just means i dont have to get up every few hours.

My idea is when DS goes into his new room we take the bars off his cot and do CC to get him to spend the whole night in bed and hopefully start sleeping through. i know it's alot of change but my reasoning is that if we overhaul everything at once in the long term it will be easier for DS than if we changed the routine bit by bit

Does anyone have any experience of this? DS is my first so I'm quite open to being told I'm wrong and so much change will be too difficult for DS to cope with.

My friends tried this. The CC took ages, and was super hard going for both their LO and themselves. As well as the move and the new sleeping arrangements, their LO had new childcare arrangements as well. All too much at once.
I would get settled in the new place first. Moving house is change enough for both him and you.

sleepdeprived I've also responded to the post that you left on the thread that I started. I don't know anything about CC but my one piece of advice would be that, even if you don't implement a new sleep training regime, make use of the time when your DP is there to catch up on sleep. I've recently been treating weekends as if my DS was a newborn again, and retiring for a nap at any opportunity, even if it means missing out on family time together.

A couple of days of that and your batteries will begin to recharge. I find that the sleep deprivation is definitely cumulative. If I start from a position of not being tired, I can cope after a night of 4-5 hours broken sleep, even 3-4 such nights, but if you don't catch up you will start to find yourself getting progressively more exhausted and mental functions affected. Also, you are in a much better position to (a) decide what you want to do and (b) implement it when you aren't quite so tired. So do that first, don't feel you have to rush into a new sleep regime on day 1.

i have my own sleep woes, hence my being here.

i'd just caution you tht going from a co- sleeping situation to a CC one will be hard on all of you, and might not even work. it seems too much
