Not too late
Thanks All, for the advice. I have started to let my daughter cry it out a couple nights ago. The first night she woke two times. First time my husband gave in and held her to sleep. Second time we let her cry - for 30 mins... we did not go in to see her. Finally she went to sleep on the her. Last night, she woke one time, I went in and pat her back... she cried for another minute or so and went to sleep... I hope this means she is learning... We will see how it goes tonight. I am not seeing any change in her attitude to me during the day - no negatives from the crying out method so far - except for her hoarse voice.
For Chance, probably not too late for 10 month old to learn. I have a friend in the same situation... 10 month old daughter (she had been rocked to sleep for since she was 4 month old). My friend tried the controlled crying method and it works after one week.... the hard part is being able to bare her cry....
