Anyone read (and had success with) 'The Sleepeasy Solution?

In my desperate attempt for sleep i have bought The sleepeasy Solutions book from Mothercare which boasts results in 'less than a week'. Has anyone read it and had success? I'm half way though but not sure that i entirely agree with the methods used. Sounds very similar to CC.

My LO is only five months but we have been sleep regressing for 4/5weeks with what i hope was a peak at it's worst last night. He woke every 45 mins from 8-4.30

Now i am not expecting my LO to sleep through at 5 months but part of our problem i think is that we rock LO to sleep every night. In fact i do as my little man will not allow dp to settle him at all . I would really like to help LO to learn how to self settle and eventually achieve the holy grail of a decent night sleep.

I am also aware that he could be teething and reaching dveleopmental milestones at present and would not start a new rountine yet but i'm so desperate for some sleep now and would really like dp to be able to settle LO too as it's so tiring having to do it all. Any advice would be greatfully received or if anyone has any suggestions of reading material that they have found successful i would love to hear. Thanks

I feel for you - similar problem here and I got the book from the library.
I havent tried it yet i just dont know how am i going to have the energy to keep a sleep diary at night... i usually zombi my way through the night...(and the day)

I know the sleep diary sounds lke hard work but i will try anything at the mo.

I think the hard thing is that i want to try different approaches to settle LO on a night instead of just feeding to sleep like i do at the mo but i'm so bloody tired it's just the lazy easier option. Have you found any other successful reading material Toskay?

I do go to be early but i now get to the point where im so anxious about when he will next wake up that i lie there thinking 'he's gonna be awake in a minute' and can't get to sleep and then beat myself up that i have come to bed early and should be asleep . It's a vicious circle.

Thanks Starlight have just seen the thread and understand that is is typical for sleep regression around this age and am hoping for light at the end of the tunnel but should i be still implementing some 'sleep training' techniques anyway or just wait for it to pass and enjoy continue the cuddles/rocking to sleep?
