I remember that 5 am start with my toddler, in our case it was just a phase that went on for a few weeks!I started Lucy's routine on a Saturday night and, even with a cold, Theodore has been sleeping through all week. I found for us that the timings were everything, going even 10 min too late sometimes made all the difference. My partner and I were at our wits end with sleep deprivation so decided to embark on sleep training. nap and yes it would be good to get a third nap in for even 20 mins and I kind of was the odd day but because I’m back in work I can’t get childminder to take him out in car at 4 cause it’s the only way he’ll go to sleep at that time of the evening, he sleeps in his cot for the other 2 naps but won’t with the late nap so I just gave it up, and no he won’t go to sleep with us when he comes into our bed he’ll just want to play ���� he used to when he ass a baby baby but not now!

I decided I’m not feeding him before 11 so any wake ups before that I’ll rock him in the hope it will make him not bother waking as he’s not getting food. If little one almost six months you may be about to schedule milk and food more if offering food now as well so you might find it easier to offer a pattern with the milk. I’m back at work and Im finding it hard being up like 6/7 times a night to settle him back and then being up at 4/5am for the day, I’m kind of just at my wits end at this stage, anyone actually paid and used Lucy Wolfe and how did they find it.Lucy is a regular contributor on the subect of baby sleep to RTÉ’s Today Show and TV3’s Ireland AM and Weekend AM. So thank you, what I have read so far has uplifted me and I’m maybe not that bad at parenting after all!

Strangely enough my DD naps really well in her cot now and we pretty much already stick to the nap gaps outlined in her book (accidentally). I am expecting a baby due this summer and feel confident that I will manage again relying on your advice and books. Publishing on 31 August, this is the fifth book in author-illustrator Peter Donnelly’s bestselling and award-winning series . To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. She highlights possible issues that you may face along the way (I did encounter some of them) and gives you methods to overcome them.I don't know if she can manage this approach but i really don't want to go back to feeding to sleep as I feel it's a step backwards and her night time sleep has really improved. We did get to a point where he settled himself before but we went backwards when he moved into his own room. I would put him down following the usualy routine etc then leave the room, when he started crying I would wait a minute (tried to wait 3 mins usually) to see if he sounded like he might be settling (pauses in his crying etc), then if still crying I'd wait for a quiter moment, go back in, do some shhhing (he usually then cried more), I didnt stay long, each time I went out he would settle bit more and each time I went in I would stay closer to the door doing my shhing and usually I didn't have to go in many times.

This practise has helped thousands of parents and babies around the world achieve better sleep, with most parents reporting improvements within the first 7 days of making the changes.It's good to hear that your little one stopped getting upset at bedtime, I can handle the faffing about in the cot without tears! I would be concerned the method described in this book could be long term damaging to baby / child’s mental health into adulthood. Sometimes the distraction techniques worked wonders, other times it just took a lot of persistence with them to calm him down. My son is nearly 9 months old and until we started your plan was waking 2-3 times a night for a feed and was taking at least 40 minutes to go back down.
