Hi Anna,

I've been persevering with sleep training as above; when she wakes I leave her in bed and talk to her but don't pick her up. However sometimes there is a lot of crying! Last night there was an episode during which she was awake 45-60 mins crying on and off. I'm just scared about breaking the trust. I want to be sure that its not the same as CIO. When she reaches out for me and I leave her there I feel so mean! She does settle sooner or later but can take a while. Should I continue to persevere? How long does it normally take? Am doing my best to  increase day time naps but its really hard as she just doesn't sleep or wakes up after 30-45 mins. Thanks
