Ferber sleep training 6.5 month old

Just in the process of doing this with my 6.5 month old. Its hard, but id say most definitely worth it. Ive been doing it for the past 4 days and she is settling herself to sleep now. Daytime naps were my problem too. I put her up in her cot and leave her, she will go off to sleep within 5 minutes now. Might whinge a little but she doesnt hysterically cry anymore. I know most people hate this method. But it works. I only had to go in to calm her a couple of times at the beginning and now shes great!

I did a relaxed version of this when my son was 5.5m after a 6 week 4m sleep regression I was pulling my hair out and shattered, he was waking up every 40mins to an hour like clockwork.

It worked very quickly, he never cried and I started with his morning nap as that’s when they’ve still sleepy from over night. I also got rid of his dummy at the same time and he slept through from the second night until we transitioned him to a toddler bed😜

Aww that’s really reassuring! Were you putting her down drowsy or just awake at nap times?

Hey, yes we've used a version of ferber at 7 months (now 10 months) and it was really rough the first two nights, but by the third night he was going to sleep in his cot alone within a few minutes. Naps are a bit harder but I think that's more because he just needs really long wake periods before sleep, so often he'll cry in the cot for 5-10 mins when being put down for a nap. We ditched the dummy cold turkey before starting!
