Has anyone tried the "No Cry Sleep Solution" while continuing to breastfeed and co-sleep?

[IlanaK]

I have just read it and she seems to say that this is possible, but I am wondering if it actually works. It worries me a bit when she mentions a hardcore minority of babies that need to be moved out of the bed for any sucess - I worry my baby is one of these!

I was planning to start it in the next week or two when my ds3 will be 6 months old. He currently wakes and feeds all night - some nights staying latched on through the whole night.

Any success stories out there?

yes. but i didn't do it until ds2 was about 8 or 9 months old.

Did it work? Do you still co-sleep and not feed in the night? Tell me more!

yes, it kind of worked, and it would have worked better if I hadn't got a bit bored of it i think lol

we did really well with the pull-off technique and getting him to fall asleep by himself after he had fed.
introduced a comfort blanket. but I also introduced a dummy.

that combined with his new-found ability to go to sleep by himself meant that we went from feeding approx every 45mins-2hourly to just 2 or 3 feeds each night.
however, he was still waking, even if he didn't feed, but he was very easy to settle.
oh and I also did the thing of saying the same words to him each time when he was falling asleep so he would associate it with going to sleep

he is still breastfed (15 months now) but we don't co-sleep any more. but I didn't feel that we had to kick him out to make him sleep iyswim? we chose to put him in a room with his brother for a variety of reasons

Thanks. I can see how it would get boring. It certainly seems a long process.

I did.

It didn't work - sorry!

But I know others have had more success.
