Hi there
Would be great to get some tips on sleep training. Have avoided it as could not bear to leave DS to cry even for one minute ( he is 1 year old in a fortnight ).
But as a family we have reached breaking point. DH and i are sleep deprived, often argue and i am at my wits end.
Here are the issues:
we still have to rock DS to sleep and if he wakes up too upset. He's way
too heavy and it can take a good while before we can put him down.
He wakes frequently throughout our evening, sometimes 3-8 times. He sometimes settles himself but sometimes his cry turns into a long one and we know he needs us as he sounds very upset so we havevto go in and rock him back again. Sometimes this is easy but sometimes he fights us and takes a while to get comfy in our arms, arches back etc.
So i want to solve this but not sure whether to use PUPD method, gradual withdrawal or return and check. Am also considering cc but not sure i have the heart and have heard horrid stories on here of vomiting babies nd ear drums bursting!!!
Please help, i just need to change something as we can't leave it any longer. I know different babies respond to different things but I'm so confused by all the methods ........
Would love to hear some success stories of those who had similar issues as mine above.
Thanks!
