Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 Hello Sharon, Welcome to the list! We're struggling with Calvin's sleep as well, and wish we had started when he was 6 months old instead of waiting this long (almost 11 mos). We also ignored the advice, but I am actually glad we waited this long. There are lots of different ways that people suggest that you do it, including those whose advice is to wait until they're asleep. If you'd like to ask questions, look through the experiences of a lot of people, and get a lot of links to places that will give you advice, may I suggest http://boards.parentsplace.com/cgi-bin/boards/sleep Some of my favorite links (the ones I have bookmarked at least) include: http://www.babycenter.com/essay/8039.html (How I got my child to sleep through the night) http://boards.parentsplace.com/messages/get/ppsleep20/8.html (three basci approaches to sleep) http://boards.parentsplace.com/messages/get/ppsleep24/5.html?embed=all (methods that don't include 'CIO') http://www.apa.org/monitor/jun97/shared.html (Go ahead, sleep with your children) http://www.parenthoodweb.com/Library/RethinkingSleep.htm (Rethinking 'Healthy' infant sleep) I'll have to say up front that I'm not a fan of crying it out, or even 'controlled' crying, but mainly because my son is out of control within seconds if I walk out and he doesn't think he's really ready to sleep. It obviously works well for other people. We've sort of adapted our own 'method' and are taking it slowly. But it means that I *did* make it to my first branch meeting We're still doing a lot of rocking an going back to him if he starts crying again, but I feel like we're getting somewhere, maybe. Sorry this got so long. Didn't mean to inundate you with stuff on your first day Phyllis mom to Calvin, born 1/1/00 Chiswick Branch Help Line Co-ordinator > (working alonside the existing one for a few months until >Kate's a bit older and willing to regularly go to sleep and let me go >to meetings!) >We're currrently having an interesting time getting Kate to settle to >sleep on her own - after having ignored all the advice about not >putting her down already asleep - so any help would be fab! >Hopefully talk to you more >Sharon __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Datchet near Windsor & Slough Hi , welcome to the list (from a rather infrequent poster!) - I'm just down the road from you, with the Henley & District Branch. I'm afraid post natal-coordinator is a role I have never been involved with - but if you don't get any info from this list, I am sure our branch pnc would be happy to " cyber-talk " to you! let me know if you'd like me to ask her.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 Hi , welcome to the group. >I live in Datchet near Windsor & Slough and belong to the Windsor branch of the NCT. Nice to see someone local to me... I'm down south a bit - Windlesham, Bagshot & Lightwater NCT. I'm up in Windsor on Wednesday - camped outside St. s - collecting child from school. I still have not worked out why he gets out about 4.20, when school finishes at 4. Maybe he doesn't want to come home! Nick the Nanny.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 Hi Nick, Was speaking to the partner of one of DH's cricketing cronies on Saturday eve, and she told me she is a Nanny of some 10 years experience working in Old Windsor. When I told her about you (nothing horrid, honest!) she asked for a ctc professional purposes only!! Email me off list Nick if you want to do a bit of networking...
