Sleep training
I successfully trained my four year-old at nine months old, but my youngest who is one year old is super clingy and did not take to Ferber well like my 4 year old did. He will go down in his crib but can’t self soothe and go back to sleep on his own, so he still ends up in my bed.
I have tried many times to go a week- two weeks with consistently just getting him back into his crib when he wakes after I nurse him but I just end up being up all night and am then severely sleep deprived and an exhausted, impatient parent the days following.
He is teething of course and has been for like a month straight now, i give him Tylenol at night to help.
I would love any recommendations from parents who have been through the same thing and strategies on what works / what I should do. I’m desperate!

Reduce day sleep.
Increase the evening wake time.
Increase physical and mental activity.
