So dd (17 months) isn't sleeping well.
Nothing new. Except now DP wants to leave her to cry (CIO).
I don't want to do this.
Who's right?
Any success stories from those that didn't resort to CIO at this age?
Any research based evidence about CIO and lasting effects, good or bad ? I can only find blogs which are more personal opinion and anecdotal.
I'm at breaking point and never ever thought I'd consider this route but I don't know how long we can go on for.
Last night, I fed her at 12.30, she had calpol too due to teething earlier in the day, woke at 2.30 for milk (bf) and I refused to give. Cue basically a 4.5 hour standoff that's managed to wind me up. I've kept calm till 6.30 when I snapped and shouted. It can't go on like this.
She has red eyes, is really tired but will not go to sleep.
So not to drip feed, we moved house last week so obviously change is affecting her. But her having 6 hours sleep isn't great. Previously we have tried dr jay Gordon, have read no cry sleep solution and we breast feed to sleep during the night (now). She goes to sleep at 7ish no problem or issue at all.
Anyone have any tips, ideas, a vodka?
