My little one is 7months old. He has never been a great sleeper and we have co slept on and off since he was about 4 months.
We recently got a sleep trainer and things seems to have improved slightly but not enough to stop one of us sleeping in his room.
We are being responsive as the sleep trainer said and settling my patting etc and only if that doesn't work, we pick up for a few seconds and put back down. It is working but very slowly. Still needs lot of settling and dummy being put back in.
His daytime naps were non existent but the last couple days have been great! Although I'm worried that's due to bad nights so he's more tired in the day now.
I suppose I'm just looking for anyone else who has tried this? If I new it would work eventually it would be easier to keep going.
We tried the controlled crying but it didn't really work that well and as he has a dummy I don't think this approach would work well anyway?
