[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 6month old daughter is sleeping like crap and we haven't really found a solution to help her sleep. My nanny mentioned sleep training just about every day now. I feel she's to young.

She also watched my 3 year old son (he is in preschool now) at that age and we did not sleep train him he fell into a nice sleeping pattern without any sleep training. [/quote]

I did not ST my daughter until she was over a year old because I was against CIO and she was a good (not great) sleeper until she hit 9.5 months.  Could I do it over again, I would have ST'd her MUCH SOONER, like six months.  We used the Sleep Lady method, which is much gentler than modified and full CIO, and I think totally okay at that age.  My daughter at 18 months sleeps more per day than she did at six months and I feel guilty for not having had her learn to self-soothe sooner.  I totally understand your hesitation to ST your daughter, but why don't you use the Sleep Lady approach and see how that works.  It takes time to ST anyway so if the SL method doesn't work, your daughter will be that much older if and when CIO becomes your next option. [/quote]
