If you have done any type of CIO

how many night did it take to see results. Including naps in a whole day that is. We did Ferber when DS was 5.5 months and it worked great and in about 3 days he was on track...didn't need rocking to fall asleep. But, we have gotten back into a bad habit with the rocking since DS started flipping over on his back and waking himself up all night long. So...i am afraid it's going to be much harder this time but something has to give in this house...we are all cranky from not sleeping/getting constantly interrupted sleep....mostly DS.

We are on night 4 or 5 of CIO.  I can't remember right now.  I have it all written down.  She is gradually improving.  She had a 12 and 3 waking.  She has slept through her 12 am waking, and is gradually pushing back her 3 am waking.  she woke last night at 10:30, but I think it's because she wedged herself against the crib, so I moved her.  She woke at 4 instead of 3 last night.  I'm hoping she STTN's soon.

We did it around 7-8 months, I think??  It took 3 days for us....a long 3 days with lots of crying.   But he's a great sleeper now!

We haven't started doing any sleep training for naps, I think we'll have our moms (they baby sit DD at our house while we're at work) start this week.  Well, I started putting DD down in her crib awake but drowsy on Sunday last weekend and she put herself to sleep with NO CRYING... yeah for the first three nights.  She woke once or twice each night and I patted her tummy to get her back to sleep, took about a minute each time.  The next two nights, I had to pat her tummy to get her to sleep at the beginning of the night.  I can't remember if she woke up in the middle of the night those two nights or not but she must have!  The last two nights, she's been a tough cookie at bedtime.  Patting her tummy was not working at all on Friday night.  So we let her CIO.  That was our original plan but she just didn't cry the first few nights.  I should have known it was too easy to go from BFing/rocking to sleep to her putting herself to sleep!  She cried for 35 minutes the first night, woke once and cried for about a minute and went right back to sleep.  Last night she cried for 20 minutes, woke once and cried for about a minute and one more time and just talked to herself for a minute and went back to sleep on her own both times.  I still think we're really lucky that she's been easy to put down and let CIO.  Good luck!  (And sorry for the long reply, over-detailed reply!)

When we did a modified Ferber for naps I noticed that it worked within a few days, she goes down for naps very well now (getting her to stay asleep for more than 15-20 minutes though is a whole different problem).

We had been trying to use the same modified Ferber routine for bedtime but it didn't work as well, going in as frequently as we were made things worse. Once we spread out the intervals to the more typical Ferber and following that has been working much better. We've just started the longer intervals, so I don't have a complete success story yet but the difference between last night and the night before was promising

Oh and once she is down, she's out for a good 11-12 hours and rarely wakes up. It happens from time to time, but more often than not I don't hear a peep out of her til she is up for the day. It is getting her to sleep that is the issue (she pushed her bedtime back from 7:30pm to almost midnight with sleep fighting, right now I'm putting her down at around 10pm and will keep continuing to move it back as we go).
