The Baby Sleep Solution: The stay-and-support method to help your baby sleep through the night

Product Information

Within about 3 weeks we could leave her in her cot by herself to fall asleep – we finally got our evenings back! Her sleep was broken due to discomfort, naps were no longer than 20 minutes, we'd long days of her screaming in pain and puking, she latched very poorly due to pain and I ended up with a very painful breast abscess.

Within two-three weeks our daughter is asleep at 7pm EVERY night with minimal intervention and sleeping through the night almost every night once again with a bit of help. She also contributes to print and online publications including; The Irish Independent Mothers and Babies, Pregnancy and Parenting, Maternity and Infant Magazine, Mums and Tots and Easy Parenting. So thank you, what I have read so far has uplifted me and I’m maybe not that bad at parenting after all! By helping parents understand their child’s sleep science and common tendencies in the first three years, Lucy shows parents how to introduce and maintain a gentle approach that is 98 per cent effective in addressing sleep issues. We've really not had very much upset at all except about 5 minutes of crying on the first night so he's responded really well to it!Sleep Matters with Lucy Wolfe - I m just sat here reading my second book All About Baby Sleep that arrived in the post today! A Group Leader is a What to Expect community member who has been selected by our staff to help maintain a positive, supportive tone within a group. He still will mess about in his cot every so often but I remind myself that I dont just fall asleep as soon as I lie down, i mess abouttoo getting comfy etc.

But it was because we got stuck at lying in the corner of the room and everything had become so unpredictable, sometimes she’d go down perfectly, other times loads of crying, and we’d be lying in there for ages. She is 10 months old and had never fallen asleep on her own in her cot before, it was always either while feeding or rocking. Firstly as a first time mam not knowing what the heck I was doing, your book was so reassuring especially regarding sleep under 6 months. However, I'll be going back to work soon and my 9 month olds sleep is still difficult (waking every 1.DAY 3- I decided that it was time for dad to assume putting to sleep duties and removed myself from the room. I used Lucy Wolfe starting around the same age and I just worked on not feeding until 2am (I knew mine could go 5 hours as she had several times before) and using her method for any wakings previous. In particular, her tables detailing timings didn't seem to make sense or follow the timings she was suggesting so I really couldn't follow them.

Hope you have more luck, it's so hard but your LO is still so teeny so there will be lots of time for things to improve! She says you can pick baby up if he/she gets upset but not to rock to sleep and depending on baby this may make baby so upset. Lots of good ideas in this book to establish a bedtime routine and to have an idea of how much sleep/how many naps/how many feeds your baby needs depending on her age. Group Leaders aren’t expected to spend any additional time in the community, and are not held to a set schedule. Secondly I began to feel that me hovering over him shhhing, giving him his dummy etc was just upsetting him even more, so I ebded up what is, I guess, controlled crying.I was Co-sleeping with L from he was 5weeks old, and bed shared right up until he was 6months old - and by this stage he wouldn’t sleep alone or go back into his next to me. This is a judgement-free zone to ask and provide tips, ask questions, and share success stories about sleep-training your little ones.

But if she wakes in the night now (once in a blue moon), I just give her a bit of water and she just goes back down straight away. But - it is intense - I’ve become so obsessed with the timings of everything, because she now really struggles to fall asleep if overtired and going to sleep even 10 min late can cause loads of crying.She's now on the right medication and since we nailed that, her sleep has gone strength to strength. I’m now on night three using the techniques and she’s falling asleep on her own, in her crib, in 10 minutes and sleeps well during naps and night time only waking for feeds twice per night. I entirely feel that there is plenty of scope and opportunity to gently and sensitively encourage better sleeping tendencies from any age that you feel ready.
