Anybody know about The Baby Whisperer books?

[Wezzle]

DS is eight months old and is a terrible sleeper.

I've heard great reports about the techniques in The Baby Whisperer books and so wanted to try it for myself.

Have been having a quick look on the net and there are 2 books 'The Secrets of The Baby Whisperer' and 'The Baby Whisperer Solves all Your Problems'.

Just wondered which book is the best for dealing with sleep issues or are they both the same.

Also any positive stories resulting from these techniques will be gratefully received

I'm returning to work full time in 4 months and really need him to be sleeping through by then.

TIA

Baby Whisperer Solves All your problems is fab, fab, fab. Can't recommend it enough - my ds was a nightmare sleeper for first 3 months. This book goes into a lot of details on sleep depending on age and it was a godsend.

It works and its kind - no crying it out. We still do pick up/put down when ds has a funny five minutes and it still works.

Best of luck

Ah, thanks Penny. That's the kind of story I like to hear.

I think I'll order it today.

Just hope reading it doesn't send me to sleep....I'm knackered

I'm so tired I've just nearly put coffee on my cornflakes

Coffee on cornflakes might be just the pick up you need!

God, yes I am a teacher . Time for a career change obviously!

And I used to have to cope with teenagers all day on no sleep. It was hell....that's why I had to get dd sorted

lolo fizz

I could just here that teachers tone in your post.

I think I'd do what I was told if I was in your class.

hear obviously not here

I'll blame that on sleep deprivation

I'd just jump straight in! They will learn how to fall asleep in each other's company. Really. (If you let them)

To make it easier sometimes if I know one of them is much more tired than the other, I'll put them down first, then get the other ready. By the time the other goes in, even if they're loud as hell, if the first one is asleep, they are generally out and don't wake up.

Even if both are full of beans though, they eventually will get tired of babbling, singing, and talking to each other.

If there is a lot of crying or screaming though, you may have to pop in to do pick up/put down (PU/PD - babywhispere technique) just to let them know you're not abandoning them, but that you are going to put them into bed and leave them there!

I really think the book will help. Please let us know how it goes!
