Please help me sleep train dd (10 months)

[fouroneone]

She hardly ever naps and only ever naps in motion (car or buggy)
I have recently been able to put her down in the car seat when she falls asleep for a nap (with me walking her around and rocking her) for 30-40 mins. She'll do that a couple of times in the day.

At night, we co-sleep and she falls asleep whilst being bf. She'll wake up a couple of times in the night and falls asleep the same way.

I want to move her to her own cot and to stop the night time feeds.

Whats the best way?
I thought perhaps to stop the night feeds first then if I get her sleeping through (or even waking up only once) then I'll move her to her cot.
Whats the best way to sleep train?
I'm not a fan of CIO. I tried it with ds and felt awful. (Ds was an easier baby and never needed to co-sleep and quite naturally fell into a routine)

?

Watching this one, hoping for some responses!

Will pop back later with suggestions

Sorry for the delay in coming back - got swamped by my 3 dcs!

I would suggest a Big Bang and go straight for the cot - are you able to put it next to your bed so she can still feel you nearby?

I'd suggest feeding her at bedtime and put her down into her cot. If she wakes as you put her down, pick her up and cuddle/rock etc but don't feed - I find dd3 (8 months) accepts this better if I'm standing so not a position she associates with feeding.
When she's asleep or very drowsy put her down again. You may need to repeat this several times but don't cave! You are still giving her comfort so its not like CIO but you are teaching her that she doesn't need to feed to sleep. Once she's accepted this and goes off easily enough with a cuddle or rock you can work towards not getting her out of the cot, then just a quick pat, then just a shush.

Of course she won't like it to start with - no-one likes change but think of it as teaching her a necessary new skill. We don't always enjoy the learning but benefit from the skill.

I'm just night weaning dd3 - had done it about a month ago but it was scuppered by a camping trip!

Useful for me thanks :)

But the Sleepeasy Solution book. Loads of suggestions for all different phases. Only one we found to work (and several of our friends too). Good luck.

Thank you WLmum
That's really useful.

We've not built the cot yet but the idea was that it was going to go into her room (its very close and I would get to her in about 5 steps)
Our other option is a travel cot (with a thicker mattress) in our room for a while.

I will have a look at the Sleepeasy Solution too. Thanks.
