Last October, I really hit rock bottom: I was co-sleeping with my daughter, who was waking up every 45 min/1hr all night long, wanting to latch on or being rocked (sometimes for hours). And this over the course of many months... I just couldn't do it anymore. I was so angry, frustrated, sleep-deprived, and helpless. I had to persuade my partner to start sleep training for my sanity and our family's health. I had myself lots of judgments, fears, and limiting beliefs around sleep training, but deep inside I knew it was the right thing to do for our family. We started when my daughter was 7 months old with the PUPD method, but we soon realised it wasn't what our daughter needed, so we moved to the Chair Method. In a matter of 2 weeks, she was falling asleep by herself with minimal to no tears, sleeping in her own bed for longer stretches (6-8 hrs!!), resettling during the night, and nursing only once. It was pure magic! After the holidays, when the 8-month sleep regression and separation anxiety hit, we had to redo a bit of sleep training. This time, we used the Check-in Method, and we put her in a separate bedroom. In a matter of 4 days, she was again sleeping much better. Now that she's 9 months old, we completed night weaning in a very natural way, and she's now sleeping through the night. Also, her daily naps and daytime routine became very solid and predictable since we sleep-trained her. We had 2 private coaching calls with Alyssa and exchanged many emails. She's just incredible :) I remember the night before starting the sleep training, I was reading through all the reviews and got so inspired by all these families. I hope my review can do the same to you: there might be some challenging moments while sleep training, but it's so so worth it, and you will get there! -Rossana
