I have a crap sleeping dd2. Actually she is better at the moment, even sleeping through every other night or so. Getting her down is a nightmare at the moment. We've tried lots of things to various effects, but I am so sick of hearing people say, on here and in RL, "they need to learn to settle themselves"
WTF does that mean? It is usually used as a justification for cc/CIO but how is leaving them to cry teaching them to self settle? And apart from that how the heck are you supposed to teach them. Do I need to be showing my 9 mo diagrams of a bed and the various tactics she could employ to help herself fall asleep? Or would flash cards with pictures of other babies sleeping do the trick?
