Hi there

We haven't intentionally tried controlled crying, I don't even know the process as I'm not interested in doing that especially not at her age. We have only walked out of our room at the start of a sleep and don't continue, I guess the only reason we have done it is that it seems that I might be a distraction to her with patting and shhhing and if I leave for a short time she calms and falls asleep. Mind you this is only day time. I have Pinkys book, in fact I have been so close to calling her many times but can't afford to do it! unfortunately dd doesn't like wrapping anymore and doesn't like been in a sling either but we keep trying! I do end up feeding her quite regularly at night and it ends up being every hour sometimes - if she falls asleep we stay there for awhile and then try and put her in bed, sometimes she wakes and cries but if its really late she will occasionally stay asleep but often wakes shortly after. btw we are still really lucky as she sleeps for a long time when she goes down but its just breaking my heart trying to figure out why she is so tired but not wanting to sleep
