[quote=Anonymous]Agree with the advice, if your dh wants to try it, let him have at it. Especially if he is trying to get a chunk of 6-8 straight hours, rather than a more ambitious goal.

FWIW, two of my dcs slept  ~12 hours straight at 12 weeks. We sleep trained in a sense but it was not CIO. Just routine and swaddling, etc. They were both about 6 lbs when born (one was a little less). I supplemented with formula which I think is a must, but some babies are ready for this.

That said - my middle db did not sleep through the night until 3 yo (and I started formal CIO with her her as she got to be 4-5 months).

I will note the sleep rules have gotten a lot stricter, which I think makes it tougher for parents. My oldest slept exclusively in her car seat for about 5 months- our pediatrician gave us her blessing. That would probably be considered child abuse now. My middle used the rock n play. My youngest actually did ok following the sleep rules but he has some delays and was always sleepy. [/quote]
