How do you do pick up/put down

[lyndyloo]

Can't find it on internet anywhere so any idea? Thinking about using it with DD.

I think the gist is that you pick them up to calm them down, then the minute they stop crying you put them down again and leave, and repeat as necessary! I did try this with ds but it didn't work, mainly because picking him up repeatedly when he was tired just seemed to make him more cross. I found that going in and stroking his head and kissing him worked better and he settled much more quickly.

the babywhisperer website has all the info, forums you will need

lyndyloo - agree with sweetjane. I tried this when ds was around 45mths and then again at around 7 mths. Cranked him up completely and he was utterly confused. I nkow it has worked for some but defo no good here.
