I am lost. Please help. 23 mos climbed out of his crib.

Hi,

My son has been a terrible sleeper. He was not sleeping through the night so I started wi/wo the other day and he climbed out of his crib. After that I put a mattress on the floor and have been staying with him until he falls a sleep but he wakes up at night and does not go back to sleep easily. I don't want to go on like this and I know I should put him to his bed alone and if he gets up put him back without any interaction. The problem is we are going to Turkey for a month to say with my family in a week. There I will sleep with him on the floor. After we come back he will be jetlag and then we will move to an apartment complex. So in the next 3 months I don't know how I can have consistency and do sleep training. I am lost. I am exhausted.

Please tell me what you would do. Also I should add in my culture they don't let babies cry, they sleep with them. So when we are in turkey if I let him cry even for a minute I will have to fight with my family, especially with my father.

Thanks
And happy mothers' day.

Hi there, why don't you have a look at the FAQ - there's a section in there about GW and about travelling.  I think you are prob best to have a go at the sleep training before you go and then hopefully it'll be easier to fix when you get back.

Will you be able to go to sleep at the same time he does while away/during moving etc? If so I'd just sleep with him and when you get situated in a new place....do sleep training. If you can't....I'd try to sleep train ahead of time and then keep it up while away, meaning you can go to him or do wi/wo or GW while away (so you're responding to him and not letting him cry--hopefully your family will see the difference) and he will hopefully sleep by himself.

Does he still nap? If he will you can let him take a long/late  nap and then have a late bedtime with you so you can just sleep together....then work on bringing his routine back to normal upon coming home.

i would wait until you get back and settled to sleep train TBH.  if you're going to cosleep while away then you'll just be back at square one even if you do sleep training before you go.

then when you move you can put him in a toddler bed and do wiwo.
