[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Can all those who want to argue about sleep training please leave the thread? I posted the way I did specifically because I didn’t want this thread to get detailed with another tedious sleep training debate. There are SO many places you can go argue about that!

Please just post your experience if you didn’t sleep train. No advice please, just experience. Thank you.[/quote]

LOL this is DCUM. This happens every time someone posts about sleep training. If you want compassionate responses you should try the BreakingMom Reddit.

But here's my experience, since you asked. We did not do CIO, defined as letting a our child cry indefinitely, until 13 months. We were terrified of it. We did let her cry for 5 minutes around 4 months, and after that she was able to put herself to sleep. However, she never consistently slept through the night during that first year, and after we got into a bad habit of feeding her to sleep circa 9 months, things slowly went downhill, such that she was waking up every 1-2 hours by the time she was 12 months old. Maybe if we had waiting several more months, she would have learned to STTN by herself or at least stop waking up so often, but we were going insane. So my experience is it probably won't get better by itself anytime soon. What I have heard is generally around 2 years many children that weren't sleeping well before then do better.
