Kat- that's what I've been thinking. DD always needs to be rocked or BF to sleep, but I never give her a chance to self-settle coz I know it won't work, she'll just muck around and then be more awake when I have to put her to sleep, lol. I tried the ideas from the NCSS but it didn't help at all!! We couldn't even get past the first step!! pmsl. Yesterday I had DD fully asleep then put her in her cot but accidentally hit her leg on the way in and woke her up. I thought I'd just leave her for a bit and see if she went back to sleep on her own. Nope, suddenly she was wide awake, standing up, and laughing!!!!

I'm scared I'm still going to be rocking her to sleep when I have number two!!!!

Enjoying reading the posts though, there is hope!!
