[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cosleeping doesn't work for all babies, either. My first born was similar to yours -- played with us too much to cosleep but also vomited when really upset. What worked for us was having DH take over the sleep routine and night comforting. DD just had an easier time separating from him. He did a variation of the Sleep Lady Shuffle. I also night weaned at that time, around 10 months. After a week of him doing it, I took over again using the same method. I think DD needed a different person to help her break into a new pattern.

Ditto this.

Our DD had to be rocked totally to sleep and held for at least an hour before we could put her in the crib, and then she'd wake multiple times crying and would not go back to sleep until I rocked her all the way down and held her again.  We tried cosleeping, but it actually made things worse.  DD's was disturbed by our noises/movements, which required me to hold/rock her more often back to sleep, which led her to a point where I literally could not put her down during the night (even in bed right next to me) or she would wake up.  I was at a point where I was getting 2-3 hours total sleep a night (and was so tired I was afraid to drive) and DD was not well-rested due to the fragmentation of her sleep.

We Feberized, and it was awful.  The first night, she cried for an hour, then for the next two hours cried intermittently (cry for 15, quiet for 10, cry for 30, quiet for 10, etc.).  There was progress, but it was slow (and MUCH slower than the book suggested it should be).  BUT, three weeks later, DD went to bed in her crib with only a few minutes of fussing, if any.  DD is much better rested and happier, and so are DH and I.[/quote]
