[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not going to advise on what to do but will just add that ours didn’t respond to sleep training and we eventually quit. Not sure what your baby’s personality is like otherwise, but it often fails with sensitive/spirited/difficult babies. Wish I’d known.[/quote]

I was successful sleep training three babies, no problem. I was not successful with one and now that he is much older he still has  his strong, stubborn persistent personality. Sleep training was torture for us and I am sure it was torture for him. I regret it.[/quote]

What no one told me about sleep training was how OFTEN you have to return to it, particularly for spirited children. Any time zone change, illness, vacation, day light savings - right back to cry it out, for years. I gave up as well for this reason. It was sold to me as something you do once and it's over but the Ferber book even says you're repeatedly doing it, for years, any time there's a change in bedtime routines. As we're foreign service and constantly moving several hours ahead and back multiple times/year, I stopped.[/quote]
