controlled crying???

[jellybaby87]

my son is 13 months old and was sleepin 12 hours a night until he caught a chest infection and ended up in bed with us, now all he wants is to get in bed with us every night and we really want to change this but need some advice

There's lots of other ways to get him into his own bed that are far less damaging than cc, also nothing wrong with him sleeping with you for a while but if you really want to change it, please do it gently rather than cc try the no cry sleep solution it might take a bit longer but you'll feel better about it in the long run .

Have you considered gradual withdrawal? It encourages independence and confidence to sleep in own room but with you there to help him. CC is an extreme and last resort (IMO) for deeply entrenched sleep associations. Doesn't sound like you're there yet. Good luck.
