Please help me with 1 year old sleep problems.

My 1 year old dd is an awful sleeper, relies heavily on rocking and cuddling to sleep and wakes up at various times throughout the night. I usually end up bringing her in bed with me but this will no longer be practical as am back at work in 2 weeks and need her to sleep in her cot. I want to start some kind of sleep training tonight but don't want to do. Are there any other options other than controlled crying? I am so sleep deprived I really want to start doing something to improve things rather than just live with it like I have been for the past year.

Honestly I can't believe the change dd has been the worst sleeper out of all the babies I know in my circle of family and friends, and there have been a lot of babies recently. I thought she would never ever sleep. Just hoping she keeps it up when I'm back at work.

I'm sure she will, and it's great things are turning around! She's done it in good time too. Must be such a relief! Hope the return to work goes well.

Hopefully we'll see a similar change in ds soon!
