Hello!! I am new to this but I'm at my wits end and need advice! My DS self settled from 4 months after doing gradual retreat training and slept through from 6 months, however now he's 16 months and last week decided that he was going to scream every time I put him down and won't stop until I go in and stand in the corner of the room!! This happens up to 4 times a night now too! I'm shattered! He can be awake anything from 15 mins to 2 hours!
It all started last week when I tried 1 nap and he got too overtired and I had to settle him! Now he wants me in there all the time!
I think I need to just be strong and let him cry it out but I wondered if anyone had experience of letting their toddler cry it out and how long it took each night? 1 hour, 5 hours?!! I have no idea what to expect and can't bare the thought of trying it then giving up and making things worse! I feel like I need a rough idea of how long it might take! Any experiences welcome! Thanks!
