Does the No cry sleep solution work?

[ScaryFairy28]

Just started trying to with dd first working on getting her to fall asleep without my boob in her mouth, already the sssshhing is doing my head in why did I choose to ssssshhhh?!

I know the feeling! I've spent the past 2 months shushing and i feel like I'm going insane. The only consolation is I've completely given up bfing. Ds is 17 months (today!) he is not sleeping through the night though, nowhere near

I'm lucky dd is a reasonably good sleeper but she starts nursery in January cos I go back to work and won't be able to feed to sleep then!

Didn't really work for me. Preventing them from getting so they'll only fall asleep nipple in mouth did seem to help, but the shushing never seemed to do that much. Maybe I had baby brain but I didn't find that the book really offered a 'solution' beyond the obvious of calm bedtime routine. Eventually and very reluctantly did a bit of leave to cry at18 months. Worked brilliantly

Sorry girls - I bought the book but it was useless! We then did cold turkey (no milk. & refusal to let her get up) & it took one night of crying & then DD slept through the night!

I'm using the gradual withdrawal stuff so stopping her feeding early each time and tonight she came off herself and fell asleep cuddle in of course it may be a fluke and I've not tried to put her down yet!!

I've just bought this book as was desperate for a solution to get my ds to fall asleep on his own and without being rocked or fed and so far i haven't found the book that helpful which i'm so disappointed about. Although i am only half way through so haven't given up yet!

I have to say this book didn't work for me. The only thing that worked (once we were ready to stop BFing) was sending DH in instead of me, and cutting down one feed at a time. We slowly went from DS feeding to sleep, to being rocked/sung to/having a bottle (at bedtime), to just lying him down and saying night night!
Whilst he was still BFing I tried everything to get him to sleep to no avail. That's just my experience though...

My problem really is that she'll be going to nursery 4 days from january so need her to sleep for them without boob or car! Why did she have to start refusing the dummy?
