Is it too late to sleep train my baby?

Question

My baby still doesn't know how to self soothe 😭. We have made gradual progress where my 11 month daughter can fall asleep without me having to rock her, but I have to be lying next to her (we bed share). Recently I haven't been able to do that though, I believe she's teething or she's transitioning from 2 naps to 1. (It's hard to tell because she went through the 8-10 month sleep regression not that long ago. I'm not sure if it's over). So lately I've been having to rock her again. I always feel like one step forward, two steps back. :( 
I have been wanting to try the ferber method, but I haven't been able to because I live with my mom, and she will not let me do it. My friend is going out of town on the 9th, and my daughter and I will be house sitting for a week. I feel like this can be an opportunity for me to try to sleep train since I will be out of my mom's house. 
I'm wondering if any August mommas have sleep trained their babies at 9 or 10 months? Or any mommas trying it now? Should I give the ferber method a shot? Even though it will be at my friend's house? 
I do want my baby to finally start sleeping through the night (and her naps, since they don't go so well either). I'm so exhausted and I want to sleep myself, but I think it's even more important for my daughter to learn to self soothe and to be able to put herself to sleep. I feel like she won't be so tired all the time. My baby literally has DARK CIRCLES. I want us to both be well rested 😢. 
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Answer

Sleep training is a myth but trying to do it at an unfamiliar place is a horrible idea

Answer

I didn’t want to sleep train when he was to young. I did start when he was 9 months old and waking up in the middle of the night and then waking me up early. Sleep training worked for me, I was up almost 24 hrs the first night (recommend starting on the weekend) and after that he still cried but only for a couple of mins and he sleeps through the night. I do try to decipher his cries. If he cries really hard he needs something (hungry, wet, or in pain) and I’ll take care of him.

Answer

We just sleep trained our LO earlier this month. (Right after 4th of July.) She was waking up a lot in our room, and because she can see/smell/hear us, that was incentive for her to continue waking and crying, because she essentially wanted to hang out. So in one fell swoop we moved her to her room, cut off her night bottles, and let her cry. (Just fyi we had been slowly reducing the night bottles for weeks prior. And we did nights + naps all at once.) The first night was bad, but honestly not as bad as I anticipated. We're 3 weeks in and it's going well. She does occasionally wake still, but we do not go in. Our LO also never had the ability to self soothe, but she does manage to put herself back to sleep now. Usually if she does wake up she'll cry off and on for maybe 10 mins, and fall back asleep. I'm a horrible sleeper too, so I get how she feels. But at the same time, I didn't want to do a disservice to her by not allowing her that opportunity to learn to put herself back to sleep. We are really really glad we did it, and we are glad we waited until we felt she was ready. :) All that being said, it's not typically recommended to do it in an unfamiliar environment. Why won't your mom let you do it? It's your baby and you're the one waking with her, so it should be your decision. I'm sorry you're feeling so stuck with this. :(

We did the Ferber method at five months it took three nights and he has slept 11.5-12 hours since. It’s hard but it was worth it IMO.

Answer

Put her in her bed and leave her for a minute, then go in and cuddle her for a minute standing next to the crib. Then say good night and leave for another minute, if shes still crying(not a whiny cry but full blown cry) go back in and cuddle for a minute then back out. Do that x3 then make it 2-3-4 minutes each unless she hysterically crys then always go in. Keep repeating until she falls asleep but increase the times.
It'll be rough. 
I had that for 2 weeks straight and it was only me who put LO to bed. Changing people just upset them more. 
I done that without researching which method was best. I just knew  going in and out his bedroom when he made a noise just wasnt helping him go to sleep himself. 
If you need help at the time when you're trying it out, message me.
P.s you are the parent not your mum. Your rules, dont be afraid to stick up for yourself and bubs.
