Sleep Training 11 mo?

[QUOTE=mommyneedsadayoff;549575]I wouldn't feel bad. He is tired and you are actually doing him a great favor by teaching him how to soothe himself to sleep. In the past ten years, most of my babies come to me with horrible sleep habits, so teaching them to self soothe is one of the first things we accomplish. They all figure it out and sleep great after a week or two. Some of them cry more than others, some cry only the first day, some cry everyday at nap for a week. Just be cosistent and reassure them that they are fine. Right now, all my babies co sleep at home (one literally sleeps on top of her mom) and cat nap, but at my house, they sleep in a PNP and lay down awake, usually sleeping for about 1.5-3 hours. The parents are amazed I can get them to do that, but I always tell them that I have very little to do with it. I just give them the space they need and they do the rest.

Told mom I will be sleep training when the big kids go back to school. She admitted that she usually nurses him to sleep, so it will be an adjustment I'm sure. Poor thing has literally been surviving on cat naps this whole time, I can't wait to see his little personality when he's well rested.
