Does sleep training work if implemented after 1 or 2 years?

Question

Any EBF mother here who co slept till at least 1 or 2  years and started sleep training after that (teaching baby to fall asleep on their own after a bedtime ritual, fall back asleep on their own if they wake up in between, and be able to sleep alone in a room?)  Was it a success or failure? Which method was used? Or is that too late for anything to work?

Answer

It’s possible, it will be hard but you will need to be very strict and adhere to the new rules that you set.

Answer

Honestly we coslept with both ours until 18m then transitioned them to floor beds in their own rooms. It wasn’t this big thing everyone talks about. I’d just lay with them until they fell asleep. Usually 15-20 mins. Read them a book then just cuddle. They still woke up at least once a night until after 3 years old though, well my first did. My second we just started to transition but it hasn’t been horrible at all.
