hello ladies,

I an new to this. I have a 3 month old that doesn't sleep during the day more than 15-20 mins at each nap time. Therefore is extremely tired all day. I used to rock her to sleep and she had the dummy, which the child health nurse advised has caused my problems.

she said that when my daughter gets to her next sleep cycle and wakes up she cannot put herself back to sleep as she has relied on me.

We are in the process of day 2 of control crying. Very hard thing to do. She fell asleep last night after an hour of crying. I tried to put her down for a nap this morning. Another hour of crying with only 20 minutes of sleep. Tried this afternoon. Another 50 minutes of crying with only 20 minutes of sleep. She lasted 15 minutes after that and is now very tired and jerky. Put her down again, but don't think I can listen to her cry for another hour as her cries are now so hoarse.

Has anyone tried any no cry sleeping techniques that work?

Really need some help
