Bathsheba - It depends on who you speak to at Tresillian. I called up when DS was 2 weeks & they advocated controlled crying (at 2 weeks!!). I tried it once & cried as much as DS did - never again!!

mrsr - I have had the same routine since DS was about 3 weeks old (change nappy, wrap, soft music, dim lights, etc) - it used to work great (in fact, I posted about it several times because it was working so well!)! But just in the past week, he has stopped sleeping longer than 40 mins (PS - how boring does it get listening to the same CD 4 times a day )

I'm in the middle of my second attempt for today. I don't know how long I can keep this up! The first attempt I ended up having to cuddle him to sleep after trying to get him to self-settle for 20 mins. Then I put him in the cot, he slept for 40 mins & was wide awake again. I tried re-settling him in the cot (for 20 mins again), then ended up letting him sleep on my chest for an hour and a half. I know it's going to take a week or two, but I don't know if I have the patience!
