    I've got Pinky's books and I love her philosophies. She makes sense to me more than any other author on children and their needs. She is baby led and this may seem a bit odd to your partner if he is used to what I think of as out-dated modes of helping babies to sleep (controlled crying etc). Rest assured she will be gentle and understanding

    Neither of us want to do controlled crying. But we NEED solutions and quickly or sooner rather than later one of will say something we can't take back - we are just soooo exhausted.

    CC is not really a 'solution', it's an instrument with an outcome, and it's not really a solution to the original 'problem'. So you're on the right track to avoid it
    It sounds like you're under pressure from expectations (yours, your partner's, family comments etc) and these may be at odds with your instincts. I don't doubt that Pinky can help you find a 'flow' that resonates with you and your baby
