well we've bit the bullet, after 6 months of disturbed nights we're doing CC.
Two nights in and both nights he threw a temper tantrum when he realised I wasn't staying with him unitl he fell asleep. He DID fall asleep within 40 mins though, and last night he stirred but didn't wake at all!
So here's what we're doing in case there's any tips;
he is 15 months old
slept in own room since 3 weeks old
slept 11-7 at 12 weeks
slept 7-7 at 16 weeks
ill at 21 weeks and only about 10 nights of sleeping through since then.
2 months ago started gradual withdrawal and weaning of his sleep associations of milk/cuddle to sleep.
Then last week we realised he was triyng it on, why? becasue he would have a temper fit (and I can tell the difference between unhappy and temper) and then lie down and giggle at you if you went over to him!
He needs to learn to go to sleep on his own and to sleep 7-6am again!
he wakes about 6am (this is fine)
lunchtime nap 12-2 or 12.30-2.30 (has to be 2 hrs, any more than that and he cuts back at night - ie 2 1/2 hours at lunch means 10-10 1/2hrs at night.)
bathtime 6.15ish
get ready for bed 6.30pm,
aim to be asleep by 7pm
so he has 13 hours in total.
