Ds is 4 months, rubbish at naps and quite rubbish at sleeping. I'm not proposing sleep training at 4 months but need to start thinking about the next few months and how I'm going to encourage him to self settle, for his sake as well as mine.
Trouble is he's a screamer, 0 to blood curdling scream in less than 60 seconds, if i so much as put him down when he's not ready. I can understand his need to be close, and we ocasionaly co-sleep when i'm too exhausted at about 5 in the morning, but his clinginess is affecting 2yo dd, relationship with dh and my own sanity!
I can't see how pu/pd or shush pat is going to re-assure him to fall asleep on his own. I just can't envisage him giving in and not screaming, and screaming, and screaming some more.
Anyone managed any kind of sleep training with a screamer?
