Super nanny sleep approach?!

[BusyBee86]

So has anyone tried out the super nanny approach to sleeping in own bed? I am thinking of doing the with my 19mth old son. He has never been able to self settle and I have always laid with him until he falls asleep. But keep having to go back into his room when he wakes up. But now I really would like for him to go to sleep on his own.
Has any one tried doing this and had success with it?

Anyone??

Not exactly in the same situation as my little one does self settle but occasionally goes thorugh phases of wanting me to stay with her until she is asleep. She has recently gone from cot to bed (is 2.2years) and the transition was intially smooth, but then wouldn't settle without me lying on the floor next to her. This was taking up to an hour and stressing us all out! so after a little while decided to try rapid return. It was hard, as obviously she could just get out of her bed rather than being stuck in a cot. Basically, everytime she got out of bed I picked her up and ut her back in said good night and left again. Thr first night it took about 45 mins and lots of returns, and I have to admit that due to being tired I got a but angry with her towards the end which I didn't want to. The next night it took about 2o mins and mucy fewer returns. The third night (and still a week later) it takes about 10-15 mins and usually max. two returns. No tears at all. It has also vastly improved night time waking, as I think she was crying out in the night as (not unreasonably!) when she woke she expected me to stil be there! since she has been settlig herself again she has not woken in the night.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for the reply that's good to hear it worked really well for you, and only took a few days. I will def be trying this out soon (when have a few days off work!) I'm preparing myself for up to a week of awful nights! Hopefully he will take to it quite quickly. It would be amazing if it does work. I really hope it does!
