the problem is that babies arent actually born knowing how to fall asleep, we need to teach them that. but with rocking/dummy/feeding to sleep you create a prop where they NEED that to fall asleep and will require that everytime they wake up to get back to sleep. If you teach them independant sleep (as we have done) they learn to fall asleep by themselves and transition through sleep cycles all the way through the night. like i said previously we follow Tracy Hogg;s techniques and I personally 100% garauntee them, if you are consistant and follo wit through then it works. For those that say it doesnt means they havent been consistant. I work wiht Mothers every single day dealing with sleep issues and I know these techniques work as I help Mothers teach their children to sleep independantly
