When Jesse started getting heavy i would hold him and rock back and forth in his room with his music playing, in the dark. After that worked for a while, i started putting him in his cot just before he fell asleep in my arms so that he would fall asleep in the cot. After that worked for a while, id put him in the cot (all the time music playing) and stand in his room.. if he became unsettled id go over and pat him, until he fell asleep. Now i can just go and put him in bed, turn the music on and walk out. He sometimes talks and rolls around and whatever but will put himself to sleep within 10 minutes or so. I might have to go back in to put his dummy back in but i leave again. I havent had to rock him to sleep for about 4 months now. Works during the day now too.
