No cry or little cry sleep training?

Question

Anyone have any success stories with non-CIO sleep training?
What method did you use and how long did it take? Did you start with naps or bedtime first?
The sleep deprivation is really starting to affect my sanity and productivity at work. I’m hoping to find a way to help my 6 month old sleep better instead of progressively getting worse. I don’t even necessarily need her to sleep through the night but not waking up 4-5 times a night would be amazing. 
Any advice other than CIO is greatly appreciated.

Answer

Yes, I did. I used a book called The No-Cry Sleep Solution. I got my 5 month old down from 3 to 1 night wakings within 2 weeks. Then the week he turned 6 months old he eliminated the last one by himself. Unfortunately the 8 month sleep regression, teething, an ear infection and 3 weeks later Hand Mouth Foot created havoc but I count on using the same techniques once he’s healthy again. Good luck!

Answer

We attempted a gentle CIO and it backfired😬
Just days after putting my 4 month old on a schedule he was sleeping 12 hours at night with consistent naps during the day!! It’s been alllmost a year since then and we’ve tweaked his schedule twice - still 12 hours at night with 2 naps during the day. 
Something to consider if you aren’t on one already? Feel free to ask me what our days looked like or why we chose that🤗🤗

Answer

Hmmm I’m struggling with my 1 and half year old myself, wakes up quite a few times. He have tried the cry it out thing but he literally spent over an hour crying 😩 it’s just so hard to do!
