sleep training question

[Hieveryone]

Hi I am after advice for sleep training. I know lots of people don't advise it but am giving it a go. My son is nearly 1 year. My question is - for those of you who use the method where you return to your child at increasing intervals - did you find the returns helped in any way or do you think they just prolong it? I think with my son they may just drag it out and get him more upset than letting him cry it out?

I always found they prolonged things. With my boys as long as I knew they were tired, not hungry /dirty etc things went more smoothly if just left. It really did just take a few days for me.

My daughter would get even more upset and cry harder if I came in at regular intervals. It was like torturing her and starting all over again.
