Hi Everybody,

This is the first time I have ever posted and after checking out a lot of forums trying desperately to find a solution to my baby boy's catnapping I decided to sign on to this one as you all seem very down to earth and not at all scripted.

I have a 3 year old daughter who catnapped until I started her on Tizzy Hall's routine at 16 weeks it worked immediately and she has been a dream (pardon the pun) ever since. Her problem was I didn't allow her to self settle and therefore she was unable to resettle herself the the next sleep cycle. So when I was expecting my now 17 week old son, I was sure I was not going to make that mistake again and all would be easy...... how silly I was!!! He has self settled pretty much from birth, he feeds beautifully and although he has battled reflux, with losec he is coping fine.... but still he naps, you name it I have tried it, I even bought an electric rocker in the hope that would keep asleep but no, that was a waste of money. I am sure some mums don''t see it as a problem but for me it is an exhausting nightmare that I can see no end too. Very occasionally he will sleep a bit longer and I get all excited but the very next sleep he is back to 40 minutes on the dot!

I only wish I could give you all a solution because I seriously share your pain. If I ever work it out you will be the first to know.......

Thanks
