Been up since 3am.....

And I am falling asleep at my desk. 

DS is almost 6 months old and I was trying to wait it out until then to start the sleep training, but I don't think I can even give it another week. 

He still takes a bottle in the night, but I'm not sure if it's just habit or if he really needs it.  How did you handle that with sleep training?  Did you wean them off that feeding first? 

Desperate for some sleep and looking for support.

TIA

Maybe you can try some gentler sleep training methods.  LO may cry, but NOT alone and that is a BIG difference!  Here are some good websites with some sleep info.  There's no magical technique, but it helps me to help LO sleep and he is slowly starting to sleep a little more independently.  GL!

I started offering her a paci instead of feeding her, and surprisingly she would go back to sleep.......in the last 3 weeks, she's only had 2 feedings during the night.....and 1 of those days i know she didn't eat enough....so maybe try that.....
