They do say ...I am sure you will do fine my lovely. They do say not to practice controlled crying until baby is at least 6 months old. You may never need it though :-) Leo just needs to know the boundaries again. It seems to be working though as he went down fine this evening which was great! <br /><br />Hope your ok lovely xxLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693927098032739132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978459861373615747.post-42992931883132063132012-06-20T14:38:22.074+01:002012-06-20T14:38:22.074+01:00Awwww.

I hate it when Paige cries now and I always go see to her straight away if I can because she is so young but I am hoping I will be strong when the time comes XxLife Through My Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08084581258027603757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978459861373615747.post-66442231713382319602012-06-19T23:23:59.796+01:002012-06-19T23:23:59.796+01:00Thanks Lisa, I am really glad.

I don't think Leo will be out of his cot for a while yet. <br />xxLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693927098032739132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978459861373615747.post-39815002656929593742012-06-19T06:15:52.595+01:002012-06-19T06:15:52.595+01:00I'm so glad Leo is finally admitting defeat! I...I'm so glad Leo is finally admitting defeat! It is really hard to hear them scream, but like Lucy, we had to be tough from the start or she would never be sleeping through! She was actually much better once she went in a bed, but prior to that she would cry for up to twenty mins every night. I hated listening to her, but if we went in it would only start all over again once we left the room. All credit to you for stickin with it hunny xLisa Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10365467037057915543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978459861373615747.post-13557582224006868822012-06-18T23:42:17.370+01:002012-06-18T23:42:17.370+01:00Thanks for the comment Lucy.

He would be down at 6pm and sleep until 11 where he would have a bottle and go down until the next morning. <br />I wouldn't say you were a tough Mummy, I would say you knew what needed doing. I just could not bring myself to let him cry, I guess you could say I was a bit soft! I can already see a difference in how he is sleeping and I am going to keep going with it. xxLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693927098032739132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978459861373615747.post-66230275242044854932012-06-18T22:12:43.179+01:002012-06-18T22:12:43.179+01:00Implementing any kind of sleep training is really ...Implementing any kind of sleep training is really hard, I know, and you have my upmost respect for sticking with it. I'm very lucky and have a good sleeper, but then I might be described as being a pretty tough mummy right from the start. I hated hearing him cry, but I quickly learned that even as a tiny baby he needed to have a little winge and whimper before he would sleep. Even saying that, we get bad nights from time to time which are generally caused by changes in routine like being away and I wonder how on earth I'll ever cope with getting another one to the point when I plop them in bed awake between 6.30 and 7pm and then get them again at 7.30 in the morning.<br />It's tough and it's heart wrenching, but keep reminding yourself that it is for everyone's good. Tired parents can't do as good a job as parents who have slept well. And babies need that sleep even more; to grow and to learn and be healthy.<br />Consistency is key so stick with it hun. He'll get there. xlucy at dear beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389965251370657029noreply@blogger.com
