I loved it, and found it really useful for my DS, who was a feed to sleep baby, who could not settle without the boob. I used the ideas in it and they really worked for me. It was a hard slog, but well worth it in the end. DS is happier now, and we dont fight sleep any more. I liked her philosophy that if your new methods are not working, go back a step or two until you get comfortable with that and then move forward again.
i cant remember the technique now but the one where you take the baby off your boob just as they are quietening down helped us ALOT!! we made list of goals aand ways to reach the goals and it took us about a year to get her off the boob and sleeping by herself. (didnt follow the rules consistently) so thats probably why it took so long. but it helped us in the long run and gave me a sense of order and plan. so it was pretty helpful.
thanks so much for that everyone. what do i want to get out of it? hmmm...DD has a routine of going to sleep around 7pm every night. but we don't really have a bedtime routine IYKWIM. i have tried to take her into her room though around 7pm after bottle (only has the one bottle of cow's milk per day now) but i read to her and settle her and she'll think it is play time, so at the moment, she'll fall asleep on me on the lounge and i will pop her into her toddler bed. she may wake around 9.00pm, i will just go into her room and settle her, she just turns over and goes to sleep and will wake around midnight but not re-settle well. i really would just like to read about the methods she uses that is all.
online it is $29.95. is anyone willing to sell it to me on here? second hand? just if you don't use it anymore?
ok so here is the thing, local library doesn't stock it. there is one on ebay i am watching at the moment anyway (used). but tonight, i took DD into her room when she looked tired, read her 3 books and put her in her toddler bed. she stuffed around for about 15 minutes, kicking, wanting to play etc. so i turned the light off and stroked her hair. after 5 minutes, she turned over and fell asleep!
we used to just cuddle and rock on the lounge until she was asleep and then i would put her down!
can anyone share their routine at bedtime with me?
