To answer your question, Sheyne has a 99 percent success rate for her personal visits. Obviously reading the book is very different to having her there. As far as babys needing routines, well I agree each baby is different and some just go with the flow and some don't (mine unfortunatley). All I can say is my kids have been so much happier after being on the routines. Some of the previous comments have made it sound like I wanted the routines so i could go out clubbing or something (errr) but was searching for someone with answers, and for me and lots of others she was the only one that worked. I'm certainly not saying that it is the only solution but people often come to Sheyne after they have tried everything else. And yes it is common with Sheynes method for babies to sleep thru first night. i've been to sleep school and certainly not the case there (i'm still racked with guilt after going there I can assure you).
Just thought it might help someont to know she helped me. You can contact sheyne on her web site but if you are stuggling then let her know as she does prioritise.
Again, hope this helps. please, no judgments for trying to do the best for my family.
