The worries of a mum about to sleep train her 7MO

WHAT SEVEN-MONTH-OLD BENJI'S MUM SAYS, NOW SHE IS ABOUT TO SLEEP TRAIN HIM:

"Yes I'll be honest I am dreading it, but I know it's a necessary evil. 

I've been following the dieticians advice already in preparation & he's been taking on lots of foods as well as formula from a cup.

I plan to start it tomorrow. I'm worried.

The main reason I am so nervous, is I tried sleep training before with my eldest son, and it was horrific. 

I'm afraid, he would cry all night, in a solid block of 5+ hours. Literally fighting sleep. I did this for 3 weeks and it didn't work. 

So this time I thought I'd get some expert advice. I've read the plan and I feel I am as prepared as I can be. 

Artie, my eldest is staying at my mother in laws for a night or two, so I at least am under no pressure as far as it upsetting him. 

It's such a hard thing to do.

If Benji's waking was less extreme I wouldn't even consider it as I don't have a problem with getting up to him a few times a night. But we've got to a ridiculous level with no sign of improvement. 

Wish me luck."
