How can I help my one year old sleep at night?

I'm too tired to even produce a paragraph right now

In desperation I did this:

It worked brilliantly for us.

Will take a read..also..we won't do CIO..

We did sleep training with ds when he was 11 months. I was a couple of months pregnant, throwing up all day and ds was up every 2 hours. It was just too much. Ds was self settling very well in his cot for naps so we knew he could self settle in the day. We started by stopping feeding back to sleep in the night. No milk after his 7.00 bottle. We rocked him instead then when we were certain he wasn't hungry we stopped the rocking. This was much harder. We did a version of cc, so he'd wake and cry, I'd go in lay him back down and stroke his head once then leave. He'd start to cry. I'd leave him for 2 minutes then repeat, then 4 minutes, then another 4 minutes. After that i wouldn't leave him alone any longer so went and slept in the nursery. I'd say " sleep time now" intermittently but I wouldn't pick him up out if his cot. He cried on and off for 2 hours the first night. He cried for 20 minutes the second night then slept through the third night.

Hi, I really sympathise with you, my son just wouldn't go to sleep no matter what I tried. Until, my friend recommended Jackson & Jackson hypnotic bedtime stories to me, they are new, just came out a couple of months ago, and my son actually looks forward to bedtime now. It's a story that hypnotises your child to sleep, you can hear the 'hidden subliminal messages' if you listen carefully. I was a bit sceptical at first, but was willing to try anything, I'm so glad I did, this is amazing. I bought mine on www.hypnoticbedtimestory.com . I thought it was a bit expensive at first (£29.99) but so worth it, he listens every night and I have my life back! Good luck!

P.S They also do other hypnotic bedtime story CD's for lots of other issues, my friend has the separate parents CD for her daughter, highly recommended.
