How long did it take those who succesfully did GW?

HI

I started GW about 15days ago and am now in the doorway of ds's room. Next step will be wi wo. Ds (2.5) still wakes 3x most nites. Was just wondering how long it took anyone of you who succesfully did GW to get them to sleep through or at least wake only 1x a nite? Just looking for a glimmer or hope here

When we did it for our DD1 at around 18months for bedtime it took us 1month until we were able to put her down and leave the room again without her getting upset.

I first gwed for naps & bedtime first.  I started being consistant w/ nws about march 18(about a month ago).  I am not sure how long it took, but we did end up having two decent weeks of either 1 waking or an early waking at 5/6am.  I am guessing sttn started about 2 weeks after being consistant.  But we were interupted by teething, so that prolonged it.  Unfortunately, she is now ot and has a cough so she is waking at about 4-5. I don't want to let her to cry right now because she coughs a lot, so I will be back at square one.

Its been just over 2 weeks now. Ds still wakes at least 2x a nite, but lately more often. Dunno why. I am not doing anything different except for him going to bed earlier. Dunno if its the adjusting to that that is doing it. He tends to wake up twice like almost 10 or 20min apart, before he'll sleep properly till the morning. Guess he takes a bit longer.
