[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Extinction. You have to deal with the crying to get a result. Unfortunately because you have so many sleep issues and he is so old for sleep training that’s where you’re at. Just commit to it and do it. The gift of healthy sleep habits is 100 times more important than how hard it may be to listen to him cry. Remember that. [/quote]

If you (not OP, but anyone) want to sleep train, go ahead, but oh my lord with the “gift of healthy sleep habits” business. OP’s child doesn’t have unhealthy sleep habits. The child has habits that aren’t working for the parents, but they aren’t unhealthy for the child.[/quote]

I also disagree. Before I sleep trained my dd, she was always unhappy—during the day and at night. We thought she had silent reflux, but no—she just wasn’t getting quality sleep. Once we did Ferber and she started sleeping longer stretches (I still nursed her sometimes, just didn’t nurse/rock her to sleep anymore) she was a much happier baby! I believe that some babies and (fewer) toddlers need milk in the middle of the night, but multiple wakings have everything to do with sleep associations and not with sustenance.[/quote]
