Cheshire Baby Whisperer

Just finished reading the book and there's a lot that makes sense;

  • lights

-comforters
-routines - milk, bath, bed

I'm hoping to start following the sensory approach but nervous about the putting down drowsy and distraction techniques. What happens if Baby is screaming the place down?
Would love to hear any good (or bad) experiences and tips. Did it work for any one?

SO GOOD.

I actually used the Cheshire baby whisperer herself as well as the book, if you can afford it, do it. It completely transformed my LO sleep.

Stick with it!

I am using her too, I'm on day 9.

How old is your baby?

Mine is 8 months, and totally reliant on the boob for sleep! She doesn't go more than 2 hours max at night, mostly 1 hour sleep cycles that I have to feed her back to sleep from.

Shes really resisting the new routine, and just crys and screams hysterically Sad

I'm not looking for her to sleep through or anything like that, just to be able to sleep for a few hours in between feeds at night!

Mine was 7/8 months when I started. It didn’t happen over night and there were some LONG nights, but we achieved cot naps, and not boobing to sleep!

She’s now 18 months old, she goes into her cot awake and is asleep in a short time with no crying (some complaining but nothing serious) she usually wakes once but sometimes sleeps through, and gets up at about 8.30am! STICK WITH IT!

We had problems getting her to sleep a few weeks ago. Went back to the book and it worked. It’s small things you might not think about that works, and basically distracting her from being upset without resorting to the boob. X
