Hi,
We have recently started to try the pu/pd method with our 6month old daughter. First night it took us 1hr 20mins to get our daughter to sleep, but she stayed in her cot for 7hrs and self settled during the night. 2nd night it took us 45mins and she slept for 5 hours. This is huge for us as she has been co sleeping for weeks so we could get sleep.
I just wanted to get some advice as she gets very upset when we do this and I just feel so so guilty. The picking up and putting down and patting her tummy seem to wind her up, she just fights and I can't help but think that she falls asleep through exhaustion. I attempted this for her after noon nap and it took 1hr 20mins before she went to sleep and only had a 20min nap.
I guess I just feel cruel :-(
