Hello,
My daughter is 17mths and we've been doing the baby whisperer since she was born. She sleeps through the night from 7:30 to about 7:30 and naps for around 2-3 hours in the afternoon. If she wakes at night she puts herself back to sleep with her a trusty thumb. The one sleep problem we do have is getting her to sleep. We've always followed to don't let her cry it out philosophy but most nights I spend an hour sitting in the room with her until she falls asleep. If I leave before she's asleep she starts crying and standing up I her crib. She has a winds own routine, we get changed, read stories and then I nurse her. She's always awake once she's done nursing and she actually points to the crib to be out in. She sucks her thumb and lays there quietly.....as long as you don't try to leave the room! I've gone back through my books but I don't see much about what to do if it doesn't magically work after a few days. I should say at around 1 we had a few months of being able to just lay her down and walk out but that ended, probably around the time she started daycare and separation anxiety kicked in. Help! Need to get my evenings back! Husband works out of town now and I can't spend all evening I there with her. I have cleaning and other things to do now that I'm on my own.
