@cubcadetlover I'm so sorry. I agree with the other response that you need some sleep, both for you and your child. I will throw out there that some research suggests that sleep training (even modified CIO) in the context of an otherwise loving and attuned relationship does not seem to cause long-term harm to the attachment relationship, especially if it's accomplished quickly. So, if you have to, you have to. I also know a mom whose kid was doing so much of this and at least for them, sharing a floor bed and then mom gradually moving onto a separate bed, and then out of the room, was helpful. I think they also got one of those projectors that put stars on the ceiling, which her daughter found soothing and distracted her from mom's body. But every kid is different. You know what you and your family need and what is best for your kid. I hope you can also prioritize you
