    Do you have the No Cry Sleep Solution book? It has some lovely ways to do exactly what you'd like to do.

    I have tried various books and gentle methods with my DS. In our case, the only thing that worked was about 4 years. He now puts himself to sleep on his own. Triumph!

    Sometimes, it just doesn't work that way Most babies can't put themselves to sleep. And it's pretty normal for 3 year olds to still need help - maybe not feeding to sleep, but you'll still be spending at least 30 minutes doing the books, cuddles, stories etc.
    If you need to change the way you get her to sleep, then the best thing is to just try different things and see what works
