So I tried the CIO method and it was just not for me. I was a big pushover and would pick him up. I had fallen into the nurse him to sleep category. Now that he is one I wanted to stop doing that. We used to be really good at doing a bedtime routine, but since moving in with my parents we have not been so good at sticking to it. Last week we got back on board with routines and I stopped nursing him to sleep and dad took over putting him to bed. IT WORKED!!! My husband only had to get up with him for 3 nights and when he did, he would not pick him up. Now he sleeps through the night and so do I!! So I would say routine and dad saved us. Now I only have to wean him off of one more nursing and I am done....for now that is.
