Is this okay?
« on: December 08, 2011, 19:22:19 pm »
I'm getting pretty fed up with ds being a rubbish sleeper, so boot camp starts tonight! At lunchtime when he wouldn't settle I just stood there with my hand on his back, not saying anything and not moving my hand - is that enough to reassure him that I am still there, or do I need to do something a bit more proactive? I don't want to break his trust, but it seems that there isn't a lot that I can do to calm him down so I don't want to be doing something that he relies on if it's not going to help, iyswim?

Used to do that with my LO.  Worked a treat and then one day he just didn't need it anymore.  So hopefully it has the same effect for you!
