Taking Cara Babies Method?

Question

I’m so tired and just down about my daughters sleep situation. She’s 20 months old and it’s big getting better. A friend has recommended “Taking Cara Babies- ABCs of sleep” I am scared to try it for a few reasons
-my daughter is 20 months old, so she has a lot of fight in her 
-I have to do it on my own 
-how hard will it be since she’s older 
Has anyone done this method or similar with a similar aged baby? 
I’ll take any words of wisdom

Answer

I guarantee that it won’t be harder than 20 months of bad sleep!

Answer

HIGHLY recommend Cara!!! Never took her courses but followed her starting at 10 weeks old and has been a life saver I would definitely try it !!

Answer

Do it!!! I did it when my daughter was 8 or 9 months old I can’t remember now which, and it literally saved my sanity. Cara is AMAZING. Best money I’ve ever spent! My daughter is such a good sleeper.

Answer

I did it when my son was 3 months old. It was a lifesaver!
It does get harder as baby gets older so just do it now honestly. Yes it’s gonna be hard with a 20 month old but it will be even harder in a few months

Answer

We used her ABCs at 12 month old (now 21 months) The first 3 nights were hard. But having a solid plan to stick to made it doable. By night 4, it was magic. She has some bumps in the road here and there. But she is a significantly better sleeper than she was! We just had a second baby and are starting her newborn course with him. STRONGLY recommend her.

Answer

Sorry to hear that you’re down about her sleep. It absolutely is not a reflection on you as a parent, despite what some people with make you think. 
I’m a parent of one terrible sleeper, and one fabulous sleeper. We did the same thing for both children so I’m certain some kids just cannot be taught to sleep and that it really is another milestone just like walking. We can do all the right things and follow all the suggestions of others, and nothing seems to work. Then one day it will all just click. 
In the meantime, there are definitely things you can do to make sure you’re as rested as you can be. Beyond the sleep training project on Facebook is a great place to start. 
Wishing you all the best, it really can be soul destroying when no one is sleeping well.

Answer

We did the ABC’s of sleep when my son was 5 months... though I don’t have advice for starting older, I cannot say enough good things about the class and everything Cara puts out there. It helped a ton and her methods are gentle.

Answer

I did her courses when my LO was small and it was hard but I think it will be hard anytime. Honestly her course is the best and it does work. You got this momma!!

Answer

I know it’s so hard to hear them upset. What really helped me was the morning after the first night she was just as happy to see me and never acted different towards me!

Answer

I did that method at 5.5 months and my kid is an excellent sleeper and loves her crib! But I do have a friend that did it at 18 months. It worked basically tried everything else and nothing worked. From her experience it wasn’t too much different than mine. Definitely the first couple nights were the hardest.
