When do you say enough is enough!!
« on: February 06, 2012, 12:52:19 PM »
Hi there
My lo is 8months and until 6 months he was a fab sleeper, could self sooth, sttn, good day naps but now i have a terrible sleeper!!

He got croup 1.5 weeks before christmas and we haven't been the same since
Then there was christmas, when we returned home from visiting i planned to spend a week sleep training (he had been sooo good at sleeping before i thought it wouldn't take too long to get back on track)
3 days in he started with a cold, but we had made fab progress, once the cold had gone we went back to sleep training
Then came another bout of croup
Then he had his first 2 teeth come through
Hes now just getting over a chest infection

When do you say thats it, we're doing it regardless, or don't you?

Ive spent the last 2 months rocking him to sleep, putting him in bed with us in the middle of the night, feeding him at rediculous times because hes been eating very little,  the list of AP is endless  ::)

Im not worried about toughing it out for a few days to get back on track but this seems endless, am i making excuses? I keep stopping and starting  ???

I think for a start, see if you can narrow your APing down to one thing that you have some confidence that you can wean.  But then having said that, you could just say 'well, why don't I just bite the bullet?'

You know your LO the best and you know what you can cope with also.  If it's not a cold, or teeth, it will be something else.  You might just need to go for it.  Which ever route you choose, be consistent with it.  The inconsistency will be your undoing whatever you choose to do.
