Has anyone had success with doing Ferber?? My 10 month old was an amazing sleeper until he was 6-7 months old, and now we’ve had 3-4 straight months of insane sleep deprivation and it’s leaving me at my wits end. He only settles by us picking him up and rocking or just holding him, but immediately wakes up and is unsettled when we put him in his cot. It takes hours to settle him, but then he’ll still wake a few hours later anyway. We’ve tried everyyyyything, light, no light, sleeping bag, blanket, different pyjamas, nappy change, dummy, white noise, you name it we’ve done it. Were against the cry it out method so Ferber sleep training seems like a happy medium. Has anyone done it? Or does anyone have any more advice? I’m desperate 😫

It took me 2 weeks with Ferber method but worked like a charm.

What does the full routine look like. Wake time, nap times and lengths and bedtime? It sounds like low sleep pressure could be contributing to your issues

We started to rock her in the cot (just hand on her rocking) so she fell asleep in her sleep space and it made a huge difference to the whole night. We’ve been in that same place of desperation but Ferber is damaging to attachment so please do look at other options
