Anyone heard of controlled comforting?

[tiredandgrumpy]

I know about controlled crying and apparently this isn't the same. Supposed to be something favored in Oz and is a much less stressful (for Mum) way of teaching a child to sleep. I gather there is even a DVD available, but can't find it on Amazon. Anyone able to shed any light?

think it is called Time to sleep

I typed 'controlled comforting' into google and it came up with and Australian link in which they go through the steps. Seems very similar to cc to me.

Thanks Taylormama. have ordered something from Amazon. dd in response, has had a few nights sleeping through although plenty of progress still left to make!

No but sounds horrid
