Baby is 9 months, since 4 months she has been waking every 30mins and needed to be BF to sleep. We tried co-sleeping which allowed me to get some sleep but it's no longer working.
I started gentle sleep training on Monday (shhh pat technique). It actually worked so much better than I expected, she still woke every 30 mins but every time she went back to sleep with the technique.
However, I got literally no sleep because as soon as I would start to drift off she would wake.
Felt like a zombie all day but needed to keep going so tried again last night and the same happened again and I gave in at 3am as I needed to sleep.
Feeling so disappointed in myself that I couldn't do it and all that distress I put my DD through was wasted and if I do try again she now knows that I will give I eventually.
I don't know whether to abandon it or try again tonight. I wonder if she is always going to wake at 30minutes? Has anyone been through similar?
