Strange title I know.
My DS is nearly 9 months and has on and off in phases got himself to sleep since 4 months( I haven't been very consistent). He obviously prefers me helping him though. After an Easter break where I basically fed him to sleep to fit into time and also because he wasn't keen on his travel cot I thought I would come home and have to do some hardcore sleep training. I kind of did a walk in walk out thing and shh him for two minutes if he cried, so I did respond to the crying. This worked amazingly well and after two days was getting to sleep in 5 to ten mins...but on day three he has changed. Now he will just play in his cot, stand up etc... Babble to himself happily. I have tried the same technique but alas have had to revert back to rocking and feeding, although it is a fight for even that to get him drowsy.
He usually manages 3 hours awake time. A few sleep cues happen at this time. He seems to manage more awake time in the middle of the day. I tried, 2,3, 4 but two hours seemed too little for him at the start of the day. DH wondered about CC but not only is that scary, considering he doesn't actually cry it wouldn't exactly work. So what do I do? Bit confused x x. .is he ready to transition to one nap I wonder, really don't get it. Any advice or similar experiences much appreciated.
