I have a 2 and a half year old boy who was a sick baby. Due to the constant comforting and breast feeding as a baby, we developed bad habits. By that I mean I fed him to sleep, then rocked him to sleep, then lay with him till he fell asleep. Then I fell pregnant again, suddenly I realised what we were doing was fine for now, but what do when another baby comes along. The health visitor lent me this book, I thought Id try it, but didnt hold out much hope. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. I couldnt believe how well, and quickly it worked. The flow chart is so easy to follow, and gives you the right plan to follow. The first few nights were not easy, but I held my ground and by night 3, he had learned I wasnt giving in, from then it was quite easy. I am at the stage of saying good night, and leaving him. He still shouts out to make sure im there once or twice, but what an improvement. I decided to buy the book for any further sleep problems, and also hopefully will help stop any sleep problems with new baby when it comes. Definetely recommend this book.
