Can I resurrect this thread? After a failed attempt at CIO a couple weeks ago (H can't handle it and lost his shit in the middle of the night), I was planning on trying again next week when H is on a business trip. The failed attempt has led into a sleep backslide and DD is now co-sleeping again. I've figured out that she has a combo of object permanence and nurse to sleep issues. Which is increasingly problematic when she's full, so won't eat, but can't fall asleep without a boob in her mouth. So. To my actual question. I got the alert that she's entering Leap 6 today. Am I setting myself up for failure for trying to ST during a leap? I don’t get alerts for leaps and such and just sleep train when it feels right. The only 100% rule with sleep training is that you have to commit to it no matter how miserable it may be. If you think you can’t do it with YH home, sleep train when he is not. It’s sucks for a little while but it will be life changing. I don’t know anyone that regrets it when it’s done. this! We don’t pay any attention to leaps when we sleep train. We just do it when we can’t take it anymore haha. I will say, with dd2, we have had to sleep train a couple different times so far. Each time we did it, it was only 1 night of crying before she figured it out. Then sickness happened and we got back into bad habits with her wakeups and had to sleep train again. And it was only 1 night of crying. So you might be pleasantly surprised at it being easier/quicker than you thought. I will echo what MGR said above and say that you have to stick to it once you commit to it for it to work. |

It was the night waking that did H in. *fingers crossed* |

While we're resurrecting...
Would also love advice on naps. I'm not going to ST until 12-15mo so I can ensure I'm keeping supply - that's something I've negotiated w myself already.
But naps in her crib during the day... Naps in general during the day... Are super hit or miss. At daycare, at home. Dd1 was with my mom who was on the same page as us and actually nap trained dd1 (she's hard of hearing so the crying probably didn't bother her as much lol!). I felt comfortable and safe w that bc it was my mom. But I think daycare still puts her in the RnP (I've seen her sleep sack in it a few times) and I'm really ready for good day naps esp that coincide w big sisters afternoon nap. Help?
