Has anyone heard of Melissa Maher in relation to baby sleep advice? I was googling baby sleep experts and she came up as the author of a book + websites. I was wondering if her advice is controlled crying or if its a gentle method.

Lots of 'experts' are popping up all over the place. I'd stick to Pinky McKay.

I just looked her up and these comments send off alarm bells for me. Pinky wont try and make you fearful of never getting a good nights sleep!
Did you know that it can take as little as only 10 minutes for a baby to gently learn positive sleeping habits?
And did you know that you may actually be the cause of your baby waking up several times every night?
And that a baby who is not taught good sleeping habits could still be waking you up every night at the age of six?

Wow Ren, yup, I'd be steering clear too!

oh dear... Matilda had awful sleeping habits, for 3 years and is now sleeping through the night finally but she's only 4!!! Obviously I wasn't bad enough :P

Yeah well, I guess I knew. I did kind of think 'huh??' at the 10 minutes to learn positive sleep habits. But I also then worried I was causing her bad sleep and that she would then be 6 and still sleeping badly (yikes). At the back of my mind is that thing about getting enough sleep for development...
We'll just persevere
