Listening to toddler crying

[Secondnightblue]

I never thought I’d resort to CIO but I am having to. Can anybody support? It’s hideous.

How old? I'm sat with my Neely two year old asleep on my lap in his room to try and get him to sleep through, been into him three times already and getting desperate!

How old is your little one? Are you don't intermittent check ins? I hated sing the intermittent church ins, they seemed to make it worse but in the long run it really worked and we now have an amazing sleeper.

Our reason for going through with it was that if we cuddled him, he would take 40-50 minutes of continuous screaming and crying, all while flailing before he eventually exhausted himself. When we started the ferber method, he cried for 10 mins before falling asleep by himself. It was less stressful for everyone involved

What is their sleep like? I feel for you, it must be so hard if you've resorted to CIO. Are you with them in the room? What are the circs? One day this will be a distant memory x

Oh god, my autocorrect is playing funny buggers

Doing the intermittent check ins*

14 months @sausagedogsforever. Went to bed at 745 and woke at 930 then again at 11 and has just given in.

Don’t even get me started on his dad, I’m furious. I’ve worked so fucking hard to get him back in his own bed and the second his dad goes in he took him into bed with him

DS just woken again FML

I feel for you were going through similar with 15 month DD. Started getting up at 4 and sometimes through the night. The early wakings starts then she will push it to crying during the night wanting to get up. CC does seem to work though...for a few nights then she starts it's again!

@Secondnightblue so sorry you're struggling with it too :( is he your first?

My first DS didn't sleep through the night until just after 2 years old and now that seems like a distant memory. We tried everything up until then I don't even know whether anything worked or he just got there on his own!

I think it's really important to give yourself a time line. So stick to, I will try this for 3 nights then if it doesn't work I'll stop for another month or so. 14 months is still so young.

Feel you on the DH side 😡😡😡 he can't be doing that he'll confuse the poor child! Or if that's his plan then you sleep somewhere else and he can deal with him until he sleeps through!!

Does he nap? Has he always been like this with sleep or could it be a regression/teething? X
