If partners don't agree on the child's method of sleeping, you have to come to some position where there is agreement, where you agree to disagree. If you agree to disagree then one party has to not be there. If you're going to have conflict between partners when you do sleep training, you've failed before you've started. When the one partner says, "I want to do it," the other partner says, "I don't want to do it." so you just cannot proceed. You have to get beyond that point to have successful behavioral sleep training.
