need advice, we are ready for some serious sleep training!

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

we currently live in a small apartment and LO sleeps in our room in his crib. since 6 months he will seem to get better at sleeping and then completely regress to waking 4-6x a night. we have tried CIO but its very hard when he can see us and is so close by. I KNOW that he can sleep all night, he has done it often enough.

we move into a house next week and he will have his own room! I am ready for some severe sleep training. I dont mind a wake up here and there but getting up like a newborn is just not good. My game plan is to have DH put him to bed at 8 and to be the only one to go in and comfort him between bedtime and morning. If he wakes I want DH to go in, soothe him without picking him up and then we will set the timer and go every ten minutes or so until he goes to bed. I feel like if he cannot see me and nurse then the incentive to wake up all night will be gone. In the morning I will get him and then we can cuddle and nurse. I know that he is ready for this, does this seem like a good plan? we spoke to the pedi and she encourages it. I am fine with CIO as long as he knows that we are still there, I would never leave him to cry for a long time without someone going in to comfort him.

    I would not do something like that immediately after moving into a new home, I would let him adjust to the house first.

    I would try to do this gradually like PPs said. The new environment might freak your LO out. I have found that sending DH in at night makes things much easier. If I go in she wants me to pick her up and jumps around, smiles, laughs, cries, the whole sh

    I think that this is a good idea. I also don't think making the change is a bad thing  from the get go. My LO slept in a little bouncer from the time he was born until he was 5 1/2 months and I was scared of moving him to his crib and how he

    I think your plan sounds good - new place, new rules. Start as you mean to go on!

     I am desperately ready for some sleep training myself! My kiddo seems to be regressing, too & I am EXHAUSTED. She refuses a bottle of any kind & will
