Oh yes - need to add that he did iyt without me on his floor too....been weaning off that for the last 4 or so days!

I am feeling very pleased with myself!
CC just wasn't working a few months back. This tool persistence but it was the right option for ds2 (and me!)

Well it has been a bloody nightmare. But nothing was working at all. I was going mildly insane and getting really cross with ds2 and really, it wasn't his fault. It has taken around 3 weeks I think. Not a quick fix but he was distraught doing CC - like vomitting distraught and very very attached and clingy (and night feeding and co-sleeping!!!)

He has not had a nap again today so will be ready for bed by 7 - if not slightly earlier. I think he will always be an early riser like his brother. Until about 6 months ago, ds1's normal wake up time was about 5am - so that isn't as big an issue for me!

Keep yuor fingers crossed. Am prepared for set backs but I do think it has been cracked. The final straw that got it sorted was ditching the cot and putting the mattress on the floor. He hated that cot!

he settled back til 5:40 but was desperate for milk and up for the day.......
going to try to time it for no nap or a very short nap today
and put a beaker of water next to his bed

sorry this is a very self indulgent thread but just documenting it all has helped me keep almost sane
