Anyone read The No-Cry Sleep Solution?

[CDMforever]

Just bought it from amazon after it being recommended by a friend.
Our DS aged 3y 3mo goes to sleep in his own bed but then 1 or 2 hours later wakes and wants to come in to our bed (even tho we're not in it!). Have tried putting him back in his own bed but this always results in him getting upset, crying and waking our other DCs.
Health Visitor recommened the Controlled Crying approach but it didn't feel right to us. Strangely I did use CC when DS was about 18mo and it worked quickly and well. But now he's older it seems too harsh and not right. So I guess I'm looking for a solution minus the stress! Am I asking for too much?
Most of the time the co-sleeping is fine for us but occasionally I think how lovely it would be to regain ownership of our bedroom and e.g. be able to read before I go to bed!!

It worked for me with DS, but he was a lot younger (about 12 months) when I used it.

Hi, I've read it. Much nicer than controlled crying. Good luck

Coca, what is the main theory behind it? I'm intrigued as up until now I felt that controlled crying was my only option!

i liked it too, there is though, a toddler version i think, which might be better for you CDMforever

the theory behind it is that you can create sleep "cues" to help your child go to sleep by themselves.

so, with a small baby you would maybe introduce a comfort item which you give them while you feed/rock/cuddle them to sleep.
you have some words or music that you say as they're falling asleep, or as you put them in bed/cot
if you're feeding to sleep you use the pantley pull-off technique lol, which is basically taking them off before they fall asleep so that they get used to falling asleep by themselves
good bedtime routine etc etc

sorry, on another thread, what thisisyesterday said!

Yes, I've read it and am following it with my &mtnh old DD and its really helping, just slow and requires a lot of patients.
