I've been using the sssh/pat technique for about two weeks now and in the beginning, I had to do it everytime because my lo (7wks old) would get grumpy when I put in her bassinet, but I'm wondering when I'll be able to put her down and not do the sssh/pat? (I usually do this approx 30mins)
If I lay her down and she is awake but not grumpy, can I just leave or should I be waiting until she sleeping? Can the sssh/pat start being a prop where she can't fall asleep unless I do it?
I am not lot looking forward to still be doing this when she is 6mths - 1 year old!!..... aaarggghh!
Any advice would be appreciated
