Wow.. Both childcare centres I have had DD in were happy to rock her to sleep if she didn't fall asleep on the bottle.. Did they say they will only do control crying?

But I am not much help on teaching a child to self settle. I have a 2 yr old that still requires us to lie with her to go to sleep, and a DS who has always liked being put in his cot (screams blue murder if I try and rock him to sleep)..
