I saw a lot of people talk on forums about Susan Urban's short guide "How to teach a baby to fall asleep alone". I thought that it is a short read so why not to try it. After applying the method from the book I must say I was very surprised that it worked so quickly! 3 or 4 days and there was no need to nurse my baby to sleep. There is also step by step instructions on what to do to help your baby to sleep better from 0-3 months. I wish I had this guide earlier but I can not turn back time. I highly recommend. I got it on this website: www.parental-love.comMommy2https://www.blogger.com/profile/12412718146494308044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159818817339386715.post-74119780339034007752017-01-11T18:19:53.223-08:002017-01-11T18:19:53.223-08:00Very interesting article.

We're in sleep deprivation hell... again! I swore after the first one we wouldn't go down this road again but here we are. NOBODY in this house (including the dog) is getting any sleep, and here I am resisting putting my 10 month old in her own bed because I know she'll cry for a few days. Instead my husband has taken to sleeping on the couch, I'm in a rotten mood all the time because she feeds all night and my back is killing me, the baby is overtired, and our pre-schooler... well she's her usual chirpy self at 5am every morning :). I know from previous experience that my older daughter was so happy when at 15 months we finally gave up on co-sleeping and put her in a crib in her own room. But like I said, here I am again in this mess! Nico sleeps on my back in the ergo all morning, beside me in bed for hours in the afternoon (if I get up she wakes up), on my back again until I go to bed and then feeds all night to get back to sleep. I literally don't get a second of baby free time EVER and it doesn't bring out the best person in me! SO thank you for your post, I think it;s time to make some changes, starting tonight! xxMalaykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04425243936328484001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159818817339386715.post-24640027442872187832016-06-30T16:41:34.841-07:002016-06-30T16:41:34.841-07:00It's supposed to read "totally" not ...It's supposed to read "totally" not sleazy.

I sleazy thought of you as a attachment parent because you were always wearing Hayes. I have been a mixed bag with sleep baby 1 yes, baby 2 no, baby 3 no need. Same with co sleeping, some of my kids needed it, and some could only sleep in the crib. You should write more parenting articles I enjoy reading them, and seeing how you tackle 4. This one had some advice I wouldn't have thought of.Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06637319536439217409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159818817339386715.post-7115287474293539512016-06-28T22:21:04.420-07:002016-06-28T22:21:04.420-07:00I hope so :)I hope so :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18104156934937018598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159818817339386715.post-89994613127455756502016-06-28T22:20:32.113-07:002016-06-28T22:20:32.113-07:00whatever works!whatever works!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18104156934937018598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159818817339386715.post-4362778358002335462016-06-28T22:20:06.514-07:002016-06-28T22:20:06.514-07:00I'm happy to hear I'm not alone, Christin....I'm happy to hear I'm not alone, Christin.

I think so many parents think they are being polite and kind by asking questions in order to give directions but neurologically they aren't developed to handle this -- it gets them all kinds of confused and then they feel "unsafe" because the parent seems like they are not in controlAnnie Strolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09143675959841781725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159818817339386715.post-24389963851949718362016-06-22T00:06:19.413-07:002016-06-22T00:06:19.413-07:00Ah happy to read this! And always interesting read...Ah happy to read this! And always interesting reading how others have sleep trained. Didn't do it with baby number one and caused me a lot of misery, anger - a whole load of negative emotions due to crappy sleep for 3 years and not knowing what to do. Lots of tears for her and me, worse me losing my temper and the plot regularly. Getting so angry wth her and myself and knowing only had muself to blame as it wasn't her fault.<br /><br />Did do it for baby number 2 and gosh it's a different story - I know I'm going to get my breaks and more importantly when he is tired, he can sleep happily, on his own!! Not on me!! and I just adore him, cannot get enough of him. It took longer than I expected but that was due to starting off with bad bedtime habits to start - worth mentioning as by this point we had sleep trained our older child and meant to do so with the baby BUT birth with complications that left him unable to breathe lying down, with him then contracting pneumonia at 1 month followed by colic meant we pretty much held him upright for 3 months day and night! (He's super healthy and fine now). Plus we have beighbours that hear everything so couldn't be consistent at night when he woke so that delayed things. It took him a while which was hard to handle (but easier to actually do as had older exhausting child and couldn't bear a repeat of her sleep patterns and feeling so guilty I hadnt established good sleep routines with her) but oh my when he got it, heaven!!! Now he loves his bed, his simple routine, his doggy he sleeps with and he asks to "faire dodo" (go sleep), he's 18 months and has been sleeping well since he turned one. The key thing for us was putting him in the cot awake and getting him used to falling asleep on his own. We read buckets of sleep training advice for our daughter, the two things that really seemed to work for both kids was obviously consistency and being firm, but also positivity and confidence! Saying its sleepy time with a smile and like it's the most amazing thing ever "you get to sleep with doggy, wow!" - that positivity seemed to make the biggest difference fastest. And keeping it all simple, clear instructions, not too many words etc. My spanish mum is constantly shocked by how much Anglophones ️ask questions to their kids when they actually mean to tell them what to do - like "would you like dinner now?" "<br />Shall we go now?" When they don't really mean to ask but tell the kid "it's dinner" etc. In both spain and france the "command" tense is used a lot with kids and makes a lot of sense - it's not bossy and perfectly polite, much clearer all round esp when the question isn't actually a choice for the child!!

When our son was born, we heard all the cliché (but well meaning) advice about holding them while you can and enjoying every moment, even the middle of the night wake ups. So I did just that until it just wasn't working anymore. I was extremely hesitant to tell people we did sleep train because there is such a huge stigma attached with it, but I honestly don't regret it. I knew it was best for him and his health, not to mention how helpful it was for my husband and I. So thank you for sharing this! I'm sure if more moms and dads saw stories like these, they might be more inclined to look into other options. Carlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16188810558982117569noreply@blogger.com
