Did this with both my kids. The first one, probably not until 8 months old. The second we did earlier, at like 6 months.
Prior to sleep training the first one, I'd have to carry her around and sing to her for almost an hour before she'd go to sleep. It was rough sleep training her. Took less than a week, with the first 2 days being the worst (probably 3+ hours of repeatedly checking in).
Anyway, both kids adapted and turned out fine, and we got a lot of peace of mind and time back.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoDid your kids get sick a lot? Mine went to daycare, and picked up a virus literally every other week. We could not continue sleep training while she was sick and crying from congestions/fever/etc so we just coslept. With the second, we decided beforehand not to bother with sleep training, since he is our last and we liked the feeling of sleeping with them. They both sleep alone now, although we put them to sleep by cosleeping and then leave.
