I didn't vote - we let him cry a little at 4 months because getting him to bed was awful. We didn't do CIO per se but we just let him cry after all his needs were met. Didn't go back in to soothe (he got worked up if we went back in) and he never cried more than 10 minutes. He still wakes once overnight (6 months) and I haven't tried to eliminate that feed. If he wakes before 2 a.m. or so I let him cry a little overnight (again, like 10 minutes). 50% of the time he goes back to sleep on his own and then either sleeps through or wakes around 3-4 to feed.

At 13 months my baby was waking up 2-4 times a night to nurse, sometimes for an hour or more. One night, at my wits end, we just sent my husband down alone to snuggle with her on her floor bed. She cried for 3 minutes, and then they tucked in and slept the rest of the night. Now she either sleeps through, or wakes at 4 and snuggles with daddy the rest of the night. Either way, I don't nurse her overnight any more. Her father loves to snuggle with her, so we'll continue this arrangement until forever, basically.

We have not had any need to sleep train. LO goes to sleep somewhere between 7-9pm and sleeps through the night. I figure, if it ain't broke; don't fix it!

we sleep trained charlie at 4.5 months using ferber. he was pretty easy to sleep train for nights. nap training was harder.

we nap trained olive at 8 months. she was the easiest baby ever to nap train because she didn't cry. i just started night training this week (she's almost 14 months), and it's been going amazingly well. (knock on wood)

first night i did a check at 5 minutes. she cried 15 min total and woke up twice at night and i nursed her. last night she woke up once in the middle of the night and cried when i put her back in her crib awake after nursing her, but only for 30 seconds and then slept through the night. had to wake her at 8am! hoping night 3 is just as smooth and she's sleeping through the night soon!
