this is awful
my little boy has had a brilliant routine from being a week old and its always worked and he slept through from 10 weeks. he hit 8 months and it went out the window and he has slept with me for weeks. any way enough is now enough as neither of us are sleeping through and he's getting naughtier so discussed with my HV and she has told me to do controlled crying, hes 9 months.
i'm now on 8 mins intervals and due to go back in in 3 mins but its just awful.
I'm not going to back down and i will see this through because i need my evenings back before i tear my hair out. every time i go up he manages to scream that bit louder. can see this going on for at least an hour or so. Any one any sucess stories to see me through???

Usually takes my lo 2-3 nights of controlled crying (every change of routine we had to do it again, like when we'd been on holiday or he slept at his grandparents)
My advice would be to try and hold off from going up every 8 mins - as long as you keep appearing, your lo will keep screaming. I ended up leaving it 15-20 min intervals and that worked better (although i felt horrible for doing it).
Hopefully he's tucked up and sound asleep by now though!
