Hi
I have a 1 yo DS who I "parent to sleep" for every sleep by laying down with him. He likes to pull my hair as he goes to sleep!Due to where we live mainly (ok and I'm quite particular ) Ds has never been looked after by anyone for any length of time other than myself and DH.

DH can get him to sleep in the baby carrier which is how he does it if need be...but that's it.

In Feb I have to do a 3 day workshop in the city, and my mum is going to fly over from interstate to look after DS. She is an even bigger gentle parenter than me (LOL) so I trust her completely...the thing is...i just can't see HOW she will be able to get DS to sleep?!

He's not an easy sleeper at the best of times, and she's a big lady and won't be able to use our ergo carrier which is fail safe. DS hates prams and car seats only work about a third of the time.

Do you have encouragement/suggestions? I'm a bit nervous about this. Do you think I would have a hope of changing his sleep habits in the next month before the workshop?


TIA
