CIO and traveling?

LO is almost 6 months and still waking up about every 2 hours at night. The sleep deprivation is killing me and after trying almost everything else, we are starting to think about letting her CIO. We travel a lot though, almost every weekend. Will this mess her up if we let her CIO? I've heard that traveling might result in you having to start the whole CIO process again when you get home. I would just hate to go through all that only to have to do it again and again... Help! Any advice would be much appreciated. TIA!

    Since doing ferber we went to Washington dc for 3 nights and LO was fine, both there and when we returned. We are planning a trip to Florida this week so we will see how that goes. From what I understand "retraining" is a lot less dramatic after the Initial training period. I would think your LO would get used to weekly trips and the retraining would be easier. If I were in this position I would give sleep training a try.

    I say give it a try, but start it at the beginning of the week when you know you will be home that way once traveling time comes it may be easier??? Just a thought.

    Is there any way to skip a few trips so you are home for a full 2 or 3 week stretch?  Then you could do the sleep training then and your LO would be more adaptable to the traveling without it screwing up the effort you put in.

    We've gone on a few trips during sleep training and it's been fine. Just be consistent.
