Wake to sleep method- disastrous first night! Anyone done this?

[MrsJaffaCakeAddict]

I decided to attempt the Wake to Sleep method last night having read brilliant reviews of its success from old threads on here. Set alarm for 4.30 and 'roused' 10month DS slightly. The problem is that he's cried on and off ever since! I've been comforting him every now and then so haven't just left him crying all this time. What did I do wrong? Probably roused him too much I guess? Has anyone else had this issue? So disappointed as I was convinced this would solve our early waking issues.

Betty I read that you're meant to do 3 nights, see how it goes and then do 6 nights if it's not worked. So I'm going to see how it goes for. But but will definitely then do longer if necessary. I will crack this!!

Bigkids great news! It's amazing the difference it makes isn't it?

Hi all, just checking in. DS has woken in the night (teeth) the last couple of nights so slept on til 7ish. If he doesn't wake tonight I'll be doing wts although judging by the rosy cheeks he was sporting earlier I suspect he'll be up anyway.
