Thank you so much for all of your video content! I watch these when I am holding my baby while it‘s dropping off to sleep and this one made a lot of sence! I actualy managed to gently push baby into it‘s bed sideways!
For me, it was everything fine when i put him down how long i was swaddling him. Now, because he is nearly 5 months old, i had to resignate from wrapping him, and i struggled badly to put him in crib in the night...
Brilliant and so simple. Thank you. We have your book and follow your suggestions and baby sleeps so well. I wish all mamas who go the route of sleep training would try your methods. I have a very happy baby and enjoy the closeness we share while putting her to sleep. Thanks again
I am struggling to work out what to do as a dad, when I have my little one sleep on me a night and I need to put him down when sleep my is a priority. We have a next to me but it is on my wife's side so I am not able to slide him into it so am struggling to not activate his falling reflex. We don't really have room in the house for a floor bed and our mattress is not suitable for co-sleeping. Any advise?
I do this with my 1 year old but she will wake and cry out if I’m not still there at night. Sometimes after an hour sometimes a few hours. Sometimes even if I’m still there! Do I just wait for her to grow out of it?
I would work hard on making the environment as perfect as possible, adding lots of cues to replicate you and work on sleep timings/needs to check optimal - this is covered in the new edition of The Gentle Sleep Book (make sure to look for the cover with coloured stars).
