R.S.
Hello there,
I really feel for you and I hope what has worked for me can work for you. However, my daughter is still really young to train ( 7 mos )but its always been husbands rule and has worked with everything we try to establish with our kids no matter the subject.
Its very simple: The 3-Day Rule !!
Anything we have wanted to chance with our kids its taken 3 days for them to figure out that its not going to be there way. At 2 mos my daughter slept through the night at 5 mos she started up with wanting to feed at night. It went on for 1 mos and I said no more. My husband said 3 days... So, it was the worst feeling in the world but I had to let her cry. The first day is the worst, 2nd day pretty good 3rd day great. She sleeps through the night w/o feedings. Its really tuff on the parents !!!!!
You let them cry, every 30 min. You check on them, reassure them with binky or cover them. No eye contact and walk out.If they get up you put them back in bed. They will eventually learn that it is YOUR WAY. It sounds harsh but effective. Its worked with my 4 yr old to this day.
Thats all I have for you. I wish you luck and has worked for my friends as well. Stay strong because its one of the hardest things to ignore their need for you. But it WORKS
Good Luck
