Dare I mention her name BUT the only thing I really paid any attention to Tizzie Hall was when she said - put the baby down awake, go and make a cup of tea and when you come back the baby will possibly be asleep.
Its worked a number of times for me!!
Of course there have also been a number of cold cups of tea poured down the sink, but when it did work, God - it felt soooo much better than patting/cuddling to sleep. Sometimes mummy's mental health (and physcial health) is a very important consdieration too.
I'm hoping my next baby will be different! I'm hoping he or she will sleep and not spew!! LMAO.
