sleep training older baby

mollylila

DD doesn't nap other than her catnaps while nursing or sleeping in the car/stroller... obviously, something has to give. At this point, she is chronically sleep deprived and I am comfortable with full on CIO if it will help her get the sleep she needs. However, whenever I try a technique she usually only sleeps for about 20 minutes, and then is up to play. 

Has anybody had any success sleep training their older infant? Specifically for naps, nighttime sleep we have used the sleep lady shuffle with decent success.

 

Also, because she falls asleep almost every time she breastfeeds which really puts a wrench in any hopes of a schedule... did anybody wean for this reason?  

 

TIA!!
