Has anyone tried this? What would be the basic principles with a three month old? :flower:
 
I've just ordered the book for on my Kindle!
Will start reading it tomorrow, so can't say anything yet but I'll keep you posted if you like.

The only time Soph goes to sleep without a meltdown is at night!
 
Not sure- I do put my baby down while still awake but drowsy. She has been drifting right off that way and sleeping better. It's been awesome.

BUT during th day I do have to lay down with her sometimes and then she will fall asleep and I can leave.
 
You lucky you! If I put Sophie down, her eyes go wide open and she starts bawling. It's like she doesn't understand that she should close her eyes in order to go to sleep, eventhough she was extremely drowsy 2 seconds before!
She's never settled on her own. She'll fall asleep without crying on the boob and with screaming for a good few minutes if I rock her.
 
Same here Lauki, major meltdowns during the day, I have to force the dummy in, cover his eyes and press him against me and endure 5 minutes of screaming before he passes out in a deep sleep. This is only during the day. At night he is an angel (touch wood!!).
 
Yea, Sophie won't even take a dummy. Her meltdown only gets worse when I give her one! It feels so unfair on her.
Today I had a bit of a revelation though. If nothing works. I'll just be her dummy.. People don't mind parents giving their baby a dummy to go to sleep so I'm gonna stop worrying about her needing something to suck to be able to go to sleep. Personally I don't mind her at all using me. So I just have to stop worrying about people judging me!

I refuse to let her cry, so if this No Cry Sleep Solution and No Cry Nap Solution don't work, then I'll just let her fall asleep the way she wants to. I'm sure she'll grow out of it eventually when she's ready. I doubt I'll still be feeding her to sleep at 18 years old :haha:.
 
I've totally been Rosie's dummy. she hates them most of the time (sometiems she really wants one :dohh:) I - on more than one occasion - have had to lay there the entire nap so she can suck on me and if I move she shoots awake screaming. Don't worry about being judged!!
 
I've done the 'no cry sleep solution' but my lo was 5 months so think its slightly different until 4 months ( i didn't read that bit) but the main things i changed were
- making his naps longer by putting him back to sleep as soon as he wakes up (the same way you put him to sleep at the start)
- introducing a lovey (a cuddly toy or blanket to sleep with)
- if your lo goes to sleep on boob or bottle to gradually take that away as they fall asleep, the same with rocking to sleep.

there was quite a few more but take a while to explain, definitley worth getting the book it helped me, my lo was waking every 2 hours and now he wakes on average 2 times a night. i must admit i didn't carry on with it after a few weeks so it would prob be better if i did.
 
Started reading her book and I really do love the visions and ideas of this woman!
When I finish it, I'll let you know if its a good buy! But I'm already very positive about it. I just hope it works ;).

It's got a section for newborns and a sections for babies from 4 months.

I'll read the No Cry Nap Solution after this as well!
 
I read the book and it helped me. My baby passed from several wakings to a couple.However I think now she's teething and nights are a mess again. I also worry sometimes of being judged because she sometimes sleeps with me and I'm her dummy but I think there are babies more demanding than others and we are doing the best we can. They will grow out of it I'm sure.
 
I've never read the book, but I've never let DD cry herself to sleep either, lots of cuddles and nursing to sleep when she wants it, and often she will just put herself to sleep now
 
I need that book! I am ordering it now. However, if I could still BF Lauki I would not worry about feeding baby to sleep at all. I think it's a fantastic solution and much kudos to you. I know we are meant to let our babies learn to fall asleep themselves but I agree with you, whatever works for your LO is what you should do.
 
Oh yea I would never leave her to cry. But she's starting to wake up more and more now and doesnt go back to sleep without being able to suckle.
As much as I love her, I feel like I would be a much more fun mummy during the day if I get more than 1 hour sleep stretches at a time. She isn't hungry, as she just suckles and doesn't drink. If she could only do 3 or 4 hour stretches I would be a very happy bunny!
 
There's a support thread in natural parenting if you wa.t to join?
 
As promised I'd update you! I have been reading most of these books now and it's been brilliant. I don't know if I'm just been lucky but sleeping has gone so much better. Soph settled in her Moses Basket two nights in a row (this has always been impossible). She now has two 2 hour naps and a short one in the middle. Before she would only catnap 30-45 minutes. She still wakes twice at night, but because she's hungry, not to comfort suck.
Obviously it's still early days, but I've seen a change in my little girl, she's much happier for a much longer time, she plays more and we get no end of smiles. It's hard work and takes a lot of patience and trial and error. But there's no tears and today she's even falleen asleep in her swing without me having to rock her or hold her!

I'm very positive about it. It's just good to read tips on how to get your baby to sleep longer and settle better and to read why it's so important that they have good naps, it gave me a good incentive to work really hard on it and to really start doing it and keep going like this because its very beneficial for her!
 
Hiya,

I ordered this book off amazon and it arrived today- have started reading it already!

My 16 week DS loves falling asleep on the boob (and secretly so do I!) Its a lovely cuddly moment, However, I don't enjoy being used as a dummy every 2 hours during the night!!

She says that the first way the get your LO to sleep at night determines how they will expect to go to sleep during the night, so if you rock/nurse at the start of the night then
they will need this each time they wake if during the night IYKWIM.

I'm going to be positive about it and give it a really good try as I just can't leave my DS to cry even though every one says i have too :(.

The author write about her experience with CIO and how after 2 hours of crying, she looked at her DS who was screaming with terror and confusion and she swore she would never let it happen again. The thought of my DS feeling scared and confused makes me feel so sad that I just cant do it, maybe I am a softy like my Dad says...

Good luck to every one who is trying these methods, lets keep each other updated-
Lauki - it sounds like you've made a great start, long may it continue!

xx
