Will the baby whisperer pick up/put down work on hardenend 13mo B/F.

[Sallyallyally]

My active, walking, talking happy DS who is 13 months old will not go to sleep without B/F. He then wakes every hour or so until he comes into the bed with us and is B/F back to sleep each time .
Getting a bit tiresome...watched the baby whisperer this morning charming a baby to sleep in this way. Anyone tried? did it take long? Was it terribly traumatic (yes..I'm a wimp!) and can the mother do it rather than the father as I can't see my husband having the patience!
Also...how early did you pop your babes into a bed? He doesn't seem to like the cot and keeps bashing his arms and legs on the sides.
Help please

Meant to say the baby whisperer did the whole pick up put down shh shh thing...she didn't b/f their baby!

dd (although only 6m) has the same waking pattern - I feel for you!

We made a plan based on the No-Cry Sleep Solution and although we're only a week in it's already getting better.
She still wakes every hour but is much quicker to settle back to sleep (5-10min cuddle rather than 30+) and will go down without a feed. DH and I take turns going into her in the evenings so she doesn't expect a feed every time, which I think helps, and also means we each get some time 'off duty', as it were.

The next step I think will be moving from picking her up to a shh-pat type comforting but I'm not going to rush it and risk undoing how far we've come!

Some people have slated the NCSS as it's mostly fairly common sense tips, but unlike the BW it is overwhelmingly positive in tone.

dd3- 13 months does this
bfs to sleep, up every 1, 2 or if I'm lucky 3 hours

starting to kill me

Good Luck
