i am desperate for help re-sleep training

[juliamastro]

I know this has been talked about, I am trying to sleep train AGAIN after the holidays. CIO worked before, now he us crawling & pulling up though. When I walk away he won't lay down & cry to sleep, I can't comfort him laying down because he squirms & tries to crawl everywhere. What do I do, I am going crazy.

I had to just let her cry last night. I am so torn on sleep training but last night was bad. After 7 minuts she finally laid down and went to sleep

We are doing the shuffle. She crawls a bit, but eventually lays down and does her thing when she is tired enough.

I am beginning to think about sleep training methods. We are up to waking 2 or 3 times a night which is a huge set back. I am exhausted! So with CIO do you just walk away and not come back? How long do you let them cry? Do you leave them in the dark? I'm not sure how I feel about that. I feel so dense about this stuff.

I'm gonna start soon again too. I'm scared.

If you're up for trying CIO methods, I really recommend reading Ferber and Weissbluth. A combination of those two MD's methods is what worked/works for our family. Good luck.

I have used Ferber somewhat successfully, couple months ago. Though I find it harder now that she crawls around the crib or stands there. Her sleep went to shit on vacation and now she's got her first tooth coming in so no CIO. I'm hoping she 'll just sort herself out but if not it will be Ferber again.

Btw I found Ferber book very interesting, a lot of info about kids and sleep, the CIO part is only a small bit of the book. Highly recommend his book.
