i have been teaching my DD to self settle lately , and so far i have been standing by her cot singing to her , she stuffs around whinges a bit but nothing like CIO .

after 3-4 nights of standing by her cot , i moved to the wall near her door , still singing to her as she falls asleep . eventually i plan to stand by her door , giver her a little song and shut the door .

im taking a slow and steady way , it feels nice to sing your kids to sleep asweel , once they feel confident falling asleep on thier own , they will sleep a whole lot better ...


before that i uses a lullby CD but she would just stare at the blue light and say " song song " so i turned it off .

My DS is so loud and burst into her room aswell , i get him to sit where she cant see and have him relax listenting to my singing for 10mins or so ... or i turn the cartoons on
