Hi all,
Hope you are all having a great day. Ethan has had a great 2 days, sleeping and eating well. Not sure how he will be today.

Kellied - sounds like the self-settling is going well for you and your bub is picking it up quickly. For Ethan we found it was worth the hard work. We have been using this technique since he was born. It took a few weeks for him to get the idea but now he is so much easier to put to bed. He is a dreadful day sleeper most days and wakes up a few times at night but at least we don't have to rock him to sleep when he does go down. He just goes off on his own. I have to admit we do use a dummy though. We find he settles well with it and it helps him wind down quicker. Hang in there if she goes through a period where she wont sleep on her own. Ethan had a couple of periods like this but as soon as he worked out that we weren't going to pick him up and rock him he went back to settling by himself again.
