I am posting this on behalf of my cousin she has just joined belly belly however I haven't had a chance to show her how to use it she hasn't had all that much expeience with net forums etc. Anyway onto her little girls problem......

From Katie.......
I have an 8 1/2 month old that has never slept through the night, generally wakes 2-8 times per night for a dummy and reassurance, any idea what I can do?!

I basically do controlled crying with her, I never go straight into her, I let her cry for a minimum 5 mins, never get her out of bed, I don't talk to her when I go in, other than to say "it's nigh nigh time", I have tried a night light, radio on while she sleeps, door open and closed, feng shui, checked the mattress is comfy, room temp correct, and they are just the ones this sleep deprived brain can remember


Any advice ideats etc would be greatly appreciated
