We went to sleep school when DD was about 9/10 mo. I was returning to work & DH was going to be the main carer. DD would not re-settle herself and sometimes not even settle when we tried to help her using various methods and alot of the time we were co-sleeping, which was ok as long as DD went back to sleep straight away (not usually the case though). There were some things I didn't like at sleep school, but I tried alot of their methods - introducing a sleeping bag, sleep toy, putting music on and chose what worked best, implemented it at sleep school then kept it up at home. The first two nights were the worst/hardest emotionally (I did a five night stay with DH too). I went to South Eastern Hospital.
