[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are other methods too. Ferber is not the only game in town. Try Kim the sleep lady (can't remember her last name but someone on this forum probably will). Fever worked for our DC. He also vomited a few times, it was awful (especially when we were about to move and all clean sheets were packed away!). Anyway, I hate to tell you but honestly I think some kids are horrible sleepers and will remain so no matter what. I had to lie in bed with mine until he was past 3 and I actually could explain to him why I couldn't/didn't want to do it any more. Then with # 2, it was not an issue, she would wave me out of the room and tell me to close the door. Go figure.  [/quote]

It's Kim West, The Sleep Lady.  Her method is called The Sleep Lady Shuffle.  My DS had severe GERD and we could not sleep train until 11 months.  We attempted CIO and it was a massive fail (and when I say attempted, we did it for about 5 nights and my DS would scream at the top of his lungs and vomit all over the crib).  We tried The Sleep Lady Shuffle on the advice of a friend who knew her.  Now, I have to say that we altered it slightly b/c the 3 days for each portion were not enough time for my DS.  We ended up doing 9 days by his bed, 9 days in the middle of the room and 9 days in the hallway.  It worked for him.  We occasionally had to sit in the hallway to help him, and we did have to completely re-sleep train him after a vacation, but it worked and it worked well.

OP, whichever method you choose (there are others I know) you need to stick with it for at least 5 days.  You also have to be utterly consistent (don't veer from how you set up whichever method you choose).
