DD is 12months and is currently rocked to sleep which is draining me both physically and emotionally as this can take me sometimes over an hour to put her to sleep.

She also wakes up through the night a few times and sometimes needs to be rocked back to sleep or I sit on the floor an tap while she's in the cot. She is currently having either 1 or 2 extra feeds a night. DD was an amazing sleeper she used to sleep thought the night no feeds etc.

But for the past several months always wakes up an stands up in cot wanted to be picked up.

I tried the sleep training method tonight an lasted 4mins as she puked up. I felt so bad came running in am comforted and jus did the usual rocked to sleep.

I just don't know what to do anymore an how to make her learn to self soothe an sleep.

Please any advice would help???

When was this and for how long?

How was baby going to sleep previously, before you started rocking to sleep?

From a physical point of view, can she go from standing to sitting to lying down without any help? If you asked her now (during the day) to lie down as part of play (Like a Simon Says type game) would she follow your instruction?

(I get that these last questions ^ may seem irrelevant to sleep, but they are not)
