We did a modified Ferber sleep training with LO when she was younger, and it was a rough day or two but worked great. She had been going to sleep on her own and sleeping through, but the last few weeks she's had a lot of separation anxiety and we have to stay in her room until she's asleep - just sitting there, but she freaks if we leave.
We could do CIO again, I thought we might try the sleep lady shuffle since the only habit we have to break is our presence . Did it work for you?
