About this deal
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!
The best thing you can do, in my opinion anyway, is to just continue being consistent so it gives her a chance to learn to settle. Although you may feel alone, frustrated and vulnerable, please know that sleep issues affect up to 70% of parents at some point in their parenting career.
Sometimes the distraction techniques worked wonders, other times it just took a lot of persistence with them to calm him down. I started Lucy's routine on a Saturday night and, even with a cold, Theodore has been sleeping through all week.
Once I started following her recommendations I immediately saw an improvement in both sleep and how happy my baby was.But last night we only had 2 wake ups (between 7:30 and 6) which I fed her for which is much better than the usual 2 hourly. And in the outset, there were not nearly as many tears as I anticipated, and because you are there and can comfort and soothe, I didn’t feel too bad about it.
