My little boy is around 14 months now and we've finally given in and are trying to also train him. The past two nights we've been controlled crying but my oh and I feel like we're doing it wrong as the first night after an hour and forty minutes of crying my partner laid him down and patted him for a minute, second night after forty minutes of crying I put him down and shushed as I walked backwards out the door. I'm also trying with his naps but today but as my partner was out after half an hour of his crying I sat on the bed and didn't look at him until he fell asleep as it seemed like he just wanted me in the room as every time I was out of sight he'd get up and scream. I'm not sure what to do here as I know if I tried sitting with him at the start without him crying he would just get up and play in the choir instead of trying to sleep. Just need a bit of guidance here.....
