[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]
OP, if the nanny has been with you for three years, she is presumably a good nanny who treats your children well.

Based on this, I think she is suggesting sleep training because she knows getting good sleep makes the world of difference for the baby's behavior and well-being.  A well rested baby is just a completely different creature and much happier and fun to be around.

We've sleep-trained our daughter at 9 months but only because we were not in a position to do so earlier (didn't have her own room).  If we could, we would have done it earlier.  I cannot tell you what difference it has made for the entire family.  When you go to your child in the morning after ELEVEN hours of uninterrupted sleep, and you see a smiling, bouncing, cooing baby in the crib who had a long, restful night and is now ready to have an awesome day, you know in your heart that sleeping through the night is what that baby needs. Do what you need to do to get her there.  Your nanny knows that too. [/quote]
