Jus, TBH I am not a huge fan of the Baby Whisperer. Some of her ideas are ok but others I am not so keen on. If you are wanting some books which follow more gentle approaches, I highly recommend Pinky Mackay's books and also the No Cry Sleep Solution by Elizabeth Pantley (and there is a toddler version of this too).

You will get there hun, please try not to get discouraged. I know that it is easy to say. But between the two boys I have been through all sorts of sleeping problems - not sleeping at all during the day, awake all night etc, and we have come through all of them. It does take time, but you will get there in the end. Best of luck to you. Keep us updated.
