Our problem was not getting him to sleep - he had a brilliant bed time routime and went to sleep no problem e very night at 7pm. No - our problem was the night time waking. Every night he would spend up to 3 hours awake and screaming. We tried everything, the slow withdrawal, changing nap-times everything. In the end it was the dreaded cry it out method that worked, in 3 nights. I was sad it worked and that none of the more nurturing methods worked but 3 nights of crying was worth the 5 years of sleeping through the night we've enjoyed since. He's 7 now and those nights of trying to get him back to sleep still feature as some of my worst memoriesAnnicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691832473765718313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536964614643414021.post-15670394961780923692009-09-27T03:06:13.796-04:002009-09-27T03:06:13.796-04:00I really like Elizabeth Pantley, but sadly, her te...I really like Elizabeth Pantley, but sadly, her techniques didn't work for my Munchkin ... none of them! (I bought ALL her books though ... and they work great for my much more textbook son. For Munchkin the less sleep during the day the better .... as soon as she dropped her daysleeping altoghether (in favour of quiet time) she started sleeping through the night, and settling down to sleep within 15 minutes. Wonderful books though and I"m glad you are highlighting them - anything that isn't cry-it-out gets a vote from me!Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14507297241750333316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536964614643414021.post-81508034890925931152009-09-27T02:34:45.509-04:002009-09-27T02:34:45.509-04:00This is a great book.

I remember reading her intro with Little Bird sleeping on my lap and crying that someone 'got me', my situation and could provide some kind suggestions. It felt like she was talking directly to me. Thanks for sharing her wisdom.

The earlier they go to bed the better and longer they sleep. If they are up late (meaning even 5 minutes until 8PM) they get their second wind and do not sleep becoming grumpy out of control children. This proves true for all of mine ages 6, 4, and 9 months (9 month old has been sleeping from 6:45 - 6:30ish) for months and does so on her on without tears.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080240904245200942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536964614643414021.post-72352402132386762792009-09-27T00:01:08.992-04:002009-09-27T00:01:08.992-04:00I have to say that I am so very excited about this...I have to say that I am so very excited about this! Not sure if you remember me recommending it a few years back. I read her book when Charlie was very little and having issues. I have recommended it to several different friends in the past weeks on Facebook. It is a wonderful book and the concepts work when you stick with them. Even for 3 kids with 3 very different personalities! YEAH!! I am just so happy that she contacted you, and I hope it works for you and your little ones!<br />Love ya!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080240904245200942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536964614643414021.post-80131010124728370072009-09-26T21:45:04.728-04:002009-09-26T21:45:04.728-04:00I found this method very helpful with both my babi...I found this method very helpful with both my babies - I hope it works for you too!Lila Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17454844026839593787noreply@blogger.com
