is anyone going to watch the sleep "experts" programme on C4 tonight?

[choufleur]

I'm getting ready to write a letter complaining about it before I've even seen it. Apparently it helps people whose babies don't sleep through at night

omg this other woman is barking

is she meant to stroke the child or the dads back )

that is bloody awful separating the mum - is this the nice one??

oh rokersmum - you have got it exactly - what was that all about??

but can you imagine poor nervy knackered Steph if Alison turned up barking orders? she needs the soothing lights and music!

so he's not learning to go to sleep on his own! how does that help him?

tsk

I guess she is trying to reduce the parents anxiety???

I mean indi not the twin.

Wouldn't they still need a nap?

LOL at bedroom called boaby - thats what is called a penis up here, never heard that before

I would have thought the twins would still need a nap! They are only teeny still! Alison is scary.

I just feel sorry for both sets of kids.

One mum gives them a drink of milk up to 5 times a night/whenever they wake, and then wonders why they wake up in the night.

The other mum wants to have a good nights sleep, although also wants her DS to wake up and keep her company in bed.

And the kids are the ones who now have to be sorted out!!!!

ineedsomesleep-he will sit in his room reading or playing (quietly) with his lego,on a good night he crashes out at 10pm but will wake and be in our bed at 2/3/4am.

He has been diagnosed with OCD and a possibility of high functioning aspergers (CAMHS),ocd seems to have calmed down at the mo ,we just accept it after nearly 8 years.

chirelle is just doing what alison is doing but just really drawing it out. why? Why prolong the agony?

we call bed 'boboes' .

But in my defence I know quite a few other parents who do as well - maybe its a regional thing!

Yep I can not see any difference between both methods.

Surely you do not need an expert to decide if you give your child a cuddle, fgs!

Agree with the thyroid comment AF,blimey

would be interesting to see what they would do with a co-sleeping/breastfed baby!

the lady with just one child deffo needs a thyroid test

Why do they never put covers on him?

I don't understand how a 'gentle' method can involve over an hour of tears?

yep undercovermotha...that is true.and agree re thyroid test

excellent point kveta - this show is pants!

bascially shows both methods are distressing ... one is crying with no parents in the room and the other is crying with parents in the room ...

I'm a bit at "their methods". These methods have been around for years
