I think I tried every single thing with DS, bar co sleeping. It's NOT for us and oh is really again it. Even now if DS is sick well sleep in his bed rather than him in ours! But again if u co sleep good for u! DS went months from bout 16 months until bout 25-26 screaming all night for hours. I struggled and I struggled bad, I even brought him to a healer which healed lots, I slept in the floor in his room and I walked the house with him in the buggy, i tried cio and cc to name just some things I tried. Yup if I hadda brought him to our bed, it prob woulda worked, but it's just not something I was willing to do. So I struggled for months, rather than just doing it! Doesn't make me bad for wanting my own space and him not in our bed.
Yup was only a few months that I had to put up with it, but god were they exhausting ha If I went back again I still wouldn't co sleep, again it's not for us! Each to their own, I wouldn't wish my exhausted toddler at the time on any one, and if CIO/cc hadda worked for us I sure woulda been delighted!
Def agree only a few names who have their own set views and not willing to see each child/parent is different! But yet others who 'practise' the same methods say its actually this way and they r just ignored! Think I need to go library and find one of these books ha!
