We've attempted this with our daughter several times from 6 to almost 10 months now.
Just can't do it, it feels wrong. Obviously not science-based, but we haven't been able to do it for more than a few days at a time.
- dhosek 6y agoWe used the methods in this book http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0345497791/donhosek http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0345497791/donhosek (there's a non-twin version as well) with good results. We didn't just let the kids cry it out, and we had kids sleeping through the night by three months and a regular sleep schedule at four months. It's worth noting that most young kids are sleep deprived and making sure that they get enough sleep makes a big difference in their overall behavior. It's also worth noting with kids that once you figure out how to deal with them, they enter a new developmental phase and all the rules change.
- cwp 6y agoI used the non-twin version, and recommend it to all my friends when they become parents. It changed our lives. Having a well-rested child makes a world of difference.
- dhruvkar 6y agoThat's awesome. What sorts of techniques did you try? Sort of a gradual letting them soothe themselves for longer and longer periods of time?
