I've posted about sleep quite a lot. But I've really reached the end of my tether now!
I was going to wait to sleep train my just turned one year old in a couple of weeks when we moved house and he got his own room but I don't think I can wait - I have work to do, a 3 year old to look after and I'm so tired it's getting dangerous to drive. My mood is also far too low.
We're also in a detached house now with family so better to get it done now than when we're in a terrace with new neighbours!
Has anyone had any success sleep training a one year old who's still in their room? His cot is about a foot from the bed, can't move it further away.
We sleep trained our DD when she was younger by sitting by her cot and talking to her until she fell asleep, same for night wakings. We didn't pick her up but we stayed and reassured her. She cried a lot but it was done in three nights and she's been a terrific sleeper ever since. Will this technique work with an older baby?
He settles to sleep fine on his own usually but then he's up every two hours from midnight and from that point he's on the boob and in our bed.
Please share success stories and strategies!
