[quote=Anonymous][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]

Also disagree.  Not only did sleep training absolutely make my DD happier, it also made me a better parent.  Toddlers often cry when they don't get what they want.  It's often not the best choice to give it to them to avoid the crying - giving in is for the parent, not the child.[/quote]

Yep. It's akin to a car seat. My kid HATES the car seat and cries most of the time they're in it. Does it mean I'm not going to use a car seat? It's your job as a parent to set limits  [/quote]
