Little Ones sleep programme

[Serenrose]

I'm struggling with daytime naps with my 3 month old daughter so was thinking of buying the little ones sleep programme. Has anyone tried it and would you recommend?

I've started a separate thread about sleep and naps etc... but thought I'd bump this to see if anyone has anyone has experience of this particular programme?

No I was put off by the fact you have to pay for it. I think it will be the standard stuff. Can buy a book for cheaper

Thanks mumagain. Do you have any book recommendations please? I got a couple from the library but they were very general and quite basic in their advice.

The Gentle Sleep Book by Sarah Ockwell Smith. Explains the normality of Baby Sleep and isnt a cry it out approach x

No cry sleep solution and baby whisperer are both good and use gentle methods. I'm not a fan of Sarah Ockwell Smith because of her attitude towards parents who choose to use sleep training methods - I believe that they are fine if used in the right circumstances at the appropriate age

If you are going to pay more than the cost of a book, you are better off paying a consultant who will tailor their advice to your baby.

OP asked for recommendations not a criticism of what other posters recommended @riddles26

I spoke to the Baby Whisperer OP the things she said were a bit extreme and not for me. I have an email too I thin. Happy to go into more detail of you think it would be.

The same way you just criticised the baby whisperers methods @firsttimemum15?

Neither your or I know what OP's parenting style is. If she wants to follow the style in Gentle Sleep Guide, then great. We are both posting to help her find what works best for her circumstances. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and I gave mine on Sarah Ockwell-Smith. I'm not asking anyone to agree with me.

I didn't criticise just said it wasn't for me and that is spoken to her and had an email off her should OP like to see it. Therefore offering to send it on.

I did not criticise your opinion.

Winds me up

Exactly OP can take a look at these or any other sources and decide

And if you reread my first post, you will see me explain why I don't like Sarah Ockwell Smith, also not criticising you or disputing your opinion.

I would also recommend Baby Whisperer, i.e. Tracy Hogg, and her book "Secrets of the Baby Whisperer".

Firsttimemum15 - I think you must be talking about a different "baby whisperer" since Tracy Hogg died in 2004.

I also believe that good sleep trainers and maternity nurses are worth every single penny. I had a maternity nurse helping me and I learnt much more over a few weeks with her that I could have ever read. I read a lot of baby books during my pregnancy and while they were useful, it is very hard to learn from theory. My DD is now a brilliant sleeper (touch wood) but I would not have got there on my own. DD is a high needs baby in every other aspect and I am incredibly lucky she was taught to love her sleep at a newborn stage.

I couldn't agree with this more. Everything I read on baby sleep made so much more sense after using a sleep consultant. My only regret is not having used one earlier like wintertravel did. I could have saved myself a lot of distress if I had

I started the Little Ones sleep programme with my daughter who has just turned 8 months. We started when she was 6 months as she was getting up 6+ times a night and we just couldn't go on! My friend recommended it and she has got her little one sleeping through within a week of starting so I figured nothing to lose!
I am amazed at how well it worked - the most important thing is the self settling guide as my daughter just couldn't do that yet I was unwilling to do controlled crying for long periods of time. It only took her 3 days / nights following the programme and she was sleeping through 12.5 hrs a night, and having a 2 hour nap in her cot at lunchtime (would only sleep on me or in the car previously!) and was all round a happier baby! I never thought we'd get her sleeping but she did it and the total time we left her crying (not hysterically, more like whingey crying) was 24 minutes. Go for it!

It's passive aggressive pops like that which made me leave mumsnet why can't people just say their opinion without having a dig at another poster.
I am sorry OP. I went down this route. I hope you get the help you need.

I followed the Baby Secrets book with DS - I saw the author on a webchat on mn. I followed the bedtime routines only (I was too lazy to do the rest) and it worked.
