[quote=MDLady]That schedule sounds ROUGH.  I've always said that I will not use the cry it out method but we ended up having to do that.  It sucked really bad but it was the only way that my daughter learned how to sleep on her own.  We have tried everything but nothing else worked.

I nursed her twice at night until she was 9 months.  Stopped nursing completely at 12 months.  It wasn't because she was hungry.  She just wanted to be held and sleep on top of me.  So when we decided to cut out the nursing session, she protested quite a bit.  First couple of nights were really bad.  But then each night got better.  Probably took a week total but it was worth it.  We broke down a few times later when she cried hard and it was really hard to retrain again.

She's 2 and many nights she still wakes up at night once or twice, mostly if she loses her pacifier.  And at around 5am we bring her to our bed because otherwise she will stand and cry.

Sleep has been a constant struggle for us, since day 1.  There were weeks and months that were great.  But then it would completely change.  Growth spurts, teething, separation anxiety, etc etc would always throw off her sleep schedule.  So good luck!!!!![/quote]
