At 16mths PU/PD or slowly change things every few days???
« on: August 28, 2005, 07:30:34 am »
I am wanting to start sleep training tonight but I'm not sure how I should be undertaking this task !

Khyan is 16mths old and has been cuddled till drowsy and then in the cot & patted till mostly asleep.

So....

Should I just straight in with PU/PD or something similar like Walk in/walk out.

OR

Should I be slowly adapting how we go to sleep step by step every couple of days.

It's confusing as to which way we should go as Tracy seems to talk about both ways in her books.

Please any advice that you have would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Have a 14month old dd and hoping to start the sleeping independently thing with her; but unsure about where to start. Tracy's latest book talks about PD for toddlers - does that mean skipping the PU? PU PD quickly became a game last night (as much as I avoided eye contact etc); so do I just put her down once, and then stay in the room (on mattress or in chair) until she falls asleep - ignoring the crying and talking??

Hope there is someone who can help!
