Hi mums,
I am doing gradual retreat with my 6 month old daughter and am on night 9. I'm still on the first stage of having my hand on her with no end in site. I read on another thread that shushing, singing or talking to the baby is a bad idea..is this true? I've been doing all of those things because her crying is horrific. She's getting better when I initially put her down, crying between 3-15 minutes, but she still wakes 4-6 times a night. Sometimes I can shush her back down pretty easily, other times she's crying terribly for 30 minutes. I still feed her 1-2 times a night, which I don't mind at all. When I do feed her, I put her back down awake (unless she's too fast for me!) and it usually goes OK. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!
