I used her lay down approach about 2 years ago on my then 10 month old daughter and it saved me. I looked at the routines and my DD was already very close to doing what it was so didn't go into it much more. I will say that the advice really helped me at the time though.

With my son I roughly follow the routines, but adapt it to what I feel is right and it works. I think that is the way with everything really - use it as a guide not a Bible.

I didn't realise all the things said about her. Her advice helped me, kids or no kids. Just goes to show that we need to be informed consumers not just trusting sheep - but then how do you make that informed decision?
