Please, for the love of God, tell me what you know about teaching an almost 8-month-old to SLEEP. My child is attachment parented. We weaned her off sleeping ON a parent, because it was irritating, at night but if she isn't in the bed where she can roll over to touch you and make sure you are there then she only sleeps 30-60 min. Naptime is even worse! To get her to sleep now is plain straight ridiculous and includes arched back screaming while being rocked until she falls asleep OR simply falling asleep eating because she was so crazy. If you put her down she wakes in 10 minutes!!!
I am going to pull my hair out. This is insanity. I wanted her to feel like her needs were met and she wasn't abandoned in a crib but now I feel trapped by horrendous sleeping habits. I had so many people telling me the negatives of CIO and I know there are many advocates here. Please tell me what you know...tell me I won't damage her ability to REALLY trust by doing it...
