@jodiec, gosh that’s a brilliant routine you’ve got going on there! Charlie’s always been pretty decent at night but he’s gone backwards the last few weeks. Well it obviously works Cos you’re youngest is only 10 weeks and even she’s got it nailed! Well tonight will be the 6th night and last night only took a minute, so I think we’re almost there (I hope) x

@jo.wilcox, he will defently get to that point my tips are dont talk to him in hes room unless its to day goodnight use the same blanket only in hes cot for sleep time and just keep laying him down saying goodnight within a week you will have it cracked. Florence walks to her cot pulls her nightine blanket out and gives me it now when shes tired 🤣🤣

Ive always from 8 weeks made mine self soothe 🙈 ive never let people hold them while they are asleep i always put them into bed awake so they settled themselfs i used a dummy and swaddling now florence does 6pm-7.30am frankies 8pm-7.30am and poppy whos 10 weeks today is already doing 9/10pm - 6/7am its always worked for me but because i dont it so early theyve never been upset by it so i dont no how i would feel if they was distressed or sad i would probably cave 😩😩😩

@jo.wilcox hopefully! I was having a nightmare with him constantly kicking off for hours as soon as he touched his cot I'd have to go back in and pick him up and piss about for hours to the point I was crying with him for weeks so my partner just said to let him take over for one night, he put him down and let him cry it out, think he went in once to just lay him back down and he slept for the full night and has ever since it was like a miracle 😂 we still have nights where he'll cry for a couple of minutes but it's more of a little whinge not real tears and then he's flat out so keep at it! Best thing we ever did xx

@shannonn95, gosh that’s ace at 10 months, go you! Well last night was literally a minute, just under. You reckon now he’ll get to th point where he doesn’t scream at all? Like he just knows it’s bed time so he’ll just go straight to sleep..? Xx

I did it with Arlo he sleeps flat out now no fuss I felt awful for the week when I first did it but was totally worth it xx

@bonnieb, tbh my oh has been making it harder than it needs to be, kept telling me to go up and settle him Cos he didn’t to want to hear his crying 🙄 I was like look dickhead, you’re not the mug that has to sit there and rock him all night so no I won’t go and settle him 😂 yeah I’m expecting him to have a few bad nights with it, hopefully it’s not too bad x

@jo.wilcox no just stand ur ground it will get easya let him no ur the boss I felt crule but it has to be done u need ur own time x

@jo.wilcox yeah I dont blame you. You will be glad you have done it in the end when he goes to sleep straight away. I think im going to do the same with olivia it clearly works as everyone else is saying x

@bonnieb, it’s been a lot easier than I expected. Each night the time has come down- and the first night it was only 25 mins! We’ve only been doing it 5 nights and I’m surprised how well he’s adapted. Just feel god awful lol. Doesn’t help I’m probably gonna have to start all over again when he goes in his own room next week, as he’s still in our room with it being a new house I didn’t want to overwhelm him too much x

@srose1989, I do feel awful but at the same time as you say he does need to learn. Otherwise I’ll literally be stil rocking him to sleep when he’s 4 years old lol. It’s just otherwise, he goes to bed at 7 then after an hour and a half of messing around rocking him, then he wakes and it starts again. Before you know it its 9:30 before I’m able to cook dinner for me nd the oh! X

With my first he was still getting fused over going to bed at the age off 3 it was beyond a joke I had no life x

I've done it with my other 2 lads I learnt from my 1st they got put to bed n that was it now Jacob goes to bed on his own no messing or crying my second was the same just after 1 went up to sleep uv gotta just stick to it ur not crule u r simply learning him what's what love it won't last forever x

@abbyrose1997x, see at that age I didn’t mind so much. I mean Charlie wouldn’t hold his own bottle until after he was 1 out of pure laziness. But cmon, I can’t rock him to sleep at (almost) 2 years old. Just feel so awful, but at the same time I know the only reason he’s screaming is because he’s pissed off that I’m not giving into him :/ x

I wish my daughter would😔 it's not horrible like you said you would make a rod for your own back. Olivia has to be cuddled to sleep as soon as I put her down she wakes and it's hard😑
