No she doesn't cry or grizzle. I was never a fan of cc, I couldn't do it. Occasionally is he is overtired she will grizzle, but we go straight in, offer her some water, give her a kiss lay her back down in her cot and leave. Normally she will go to sleep.

For some reason as soon as DH started to do night times she didn't need me be there with her and she would sleep a lot quicker. It was like, mum is gone, I've said "night" to her, that's it. For the first few times only DH would go into her too if she grizzled.

Before dd weaned herself I found that sometimes the night feed would stress her more. Like she went from feeding to sleep, to feeding to crazy!

She also seems to respond well to is explaining the night routine, she actually gets excited for the stages now.

Dd also can self settle to sleep durin the day now, but that took longer for me and I eased it in by rocking her to sleep in the stroller to some music and doing the transfer, then we progressed to going straight into the cot.

It's all a guessing game
