Just wanted to share my good news (makes a change from all my frustrations and negativity LOL
. My lo is nearly 7 weeks old and I started the easy plan from around the first week. I have been consistent every day, and finally he has started to sleep on his own without any shush pat etc we are so happy. He is now in his own room, and this has been a real benefit he sleeps even longer in there from 11 pm to 5.45 most mornings.
Over the weeks I thought it would never work and actually thought about the cry it out method (although I never would). Iv been desperate at times, very frustrated and thought of giving up. I just wanted to say it does work, its a kind way of teaching our lo's to sleep and I am so happy I picked up the BW book that day in Waterstones, who knows how it would of turned out without this brilliant book! Even his naps are getting better, I persisted with the swaddling, even though he did not like it at first, which helps with the jolting, (as i watched him threw a sleep one day to see why he woke, and it was his arms jolting up in the air which woke him up) Iv also realised that when he gets overtired he has a melt down, and jolts terribly causing restless sleeps! All I need to do know is sort my hormones out and get threw my baby blues/PND? But with my lo sleeping better, and the support from other bw mums, Im sure it will all come together over time!
