(Oh man this turned into a novel, sorry and thanks if you decide to take the plunge and read).Well we've managed to undo all of the hard work we did to help DS (2 years old) be a decent sleeper (he's never been great but not the worst). Lots of travel, hand foot and mouth, plus lots of major change have sent his sleep right down the pooper. We are back to rocking to sleep and he wakes up every night and then sleeps in our bed. Tonight we are at over an hour of trying to get him to sleep plus 30 minute bedtime routine and he is in my bed and I am sitting with him in the dark.

I want to fix it but here's the issue... We are moving across the country in a month AND DH has already moved to start his job, so it is just me. I know this is all very confusing and upsetting for him and there will be lots more change to come. If I do some sleep training I know it will get totally messed up very soon. However momming it on my own for 5 weeks with a 2 hour bedtime extravaganza is not sustainable for my mental health or managing life. It leaves me about 1 hour a day for chores, taking care of myself, prepping for the next day, and finishing the packing.

So, would you do sleep training (or at least try to set some boundaries eg no rocking, just sitting in the room? Or would you just tough it out until after the move?

(FWIW the reason we didn't go at the same time is childcare - current preschool goes until end of August, new preschool starts then, didn't want to create any more transitions.)
