[quote=Anonymous]I posted something similar to this about a year ago and got FLAMED...not one constructive response!  There are a lot of good tips from PP's...Ferber did not work for us because my DS would throw up every.single.time.  He had severe reflux and has a very sensitive gag.

The hard part for us was getting him to sleep...we did what a PP suggested: stand next to the crib for a few days, sit in the middle of the room for a few days, sit in the doorway for a few days, sit in the hallway for a few days...it took about 2 weeks but we were able to put him in bed and walk away without him getting violently upset.  For middle of the night wake ups...well, he still wakes up but we don't go in there or do anything now (at 2.5yo).  We just applied the same method...we would go in and stand next to his bed and slowly weaned to talking from the hallway("mommy is here...it's still night night time.") to not responding to him.  Also, my DH did all of this...my DS responds to DH's instructions better than mine...I would go for a walk/jog while DH helped DS learn to sleep without us.  [/quote]
