Need to find link to 'pottering around room' method of getting older baby to sleep

[Mij]

I read not long ago, somewhere here, a gentle method of getting older babes/toddlers to go to sleep with less intervention which involved lots of returns to their sleeping space, pottering around the room etc etc. Can't find it. Can anyone help? It wasn't as prescriptive as gradual retreat.

I kind of do that when my children are playing up at night anyway. I just wander around cleaning the bathroom and putting washing away. I haven't 'gone' but I am not there giving attention either - not worth staying awake for!

thanks coldtits.

Anyone else got a clue what I'm talking about?!
