No cry sleep?
I recently read Liquid's post about baby not wanting to let go off the
brest (I wish Liquid the best of luck with that), and many answers mentioned the No Cry Sleep technique. What is that? My 2month DD has a bad habit of waking around 12 pm and just not wanting to go back to sleep, breast or no breast... Thank you all. Alina. |

My 2month DD has a bad habit of waking around 12 pm and just not wanting to go back to sleep, breast or no breast... We bought and read the book and didn't find that the solutions offered worked well for us. OTOH, DD was an extremely fussy, colicky baby. Ferber (if you want to try cry-it-out read his book) worked beautifully for us so that in two nights she went from waking every 1.5-2 hours to waking only once and then a few months later we used Ferber again to get her to sleep through the night for real (i.e. from 6:15 p.m. - ~ 6 a.m.). Napping is still not so good, but no one's solutions seem to be working there for us. Good luck. I hope No Cry works for you because it's a lot less painful than Ferber...but you have to do what works for you. -- Melissa (in Los Angeles) Mum to Elizabeth 4/13/03 |

No cry sleep? (for Katie)
Hi Katie,
Sorry to piggyback! I saw you mentioning the no cry no sleep book. Does it have advice for 2 year olds? My son had been sleeping all night for months, but now won't sleep in his own bed. I have had him checked out - no ilness or ear infections, and am at my wits end! We have been sitting with him till he falls asleep, but he wakes frequently screaming, or he refuses to sleep at all and is happy if you are sat with him. I'm thinking maybe night terrors? We didn't have a problem once our others were sleeping through the night, so this is a new situation. Kam is 7 months and sleeps through, Joey is wearing us all out! - Andrea mom of 5 - latest addition Kamron David 7 months still nursing strong with 4 teeth! A black crow stole my soul, and now I want it back. (For those with PPD). |

A black crow stole my soul, and now I want it back. (For those with PPD). Hi Andrea, The book covers babies up to two years so it should potentially be helpful for you. I'll have a look right now (goes and gets book)....There's a small section on night terrors, nightmares, and sleepwalking/talking in older babies (all covered in the same section). Here's what it says: "Older babies may have their sleep interrupted by a variety of common sleep disturbances. Your baby may occasionally wake up crying or talking in her sleep, or she may move around, sit up, or even crawl or walk in her sleep. The majority of these instances are infrequent or short-lived. The best option for parents in these situations is to calm your baby as best you can and help her to go back to sleep. If any sleep disturbance persists, talk to your doctor about your concerns." Hmm. I guess that doesn't really help you! That's all it says about night terrors and older babies. There's a big chunk of the book devoted to babies 4 months up to two years but there's nothing mentioned specifically about babies who've been sleeping quite well and then suddenly start waking or having trouble going to sleep on their own. It's mostly stuff to get your baby to start sleeping well. Sorry, that probably wasn't overly helpful Katie Real email: sphyrapicusathotmaildotcom |

That's the one that advocates getting up to play in the middle of the night, right? And encourages cosleeping in hammocks? -- Sara, accompanied by the baby barnacle |

HEr book covers birth to two years, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work on an older kid too.
