Huge huge achievement today. I have to write about it for motivation as I suspect I may need it tomorrow night. Baby boy had his first proper session of sleeping training. We've tried it before but the technique didn't work as I had hoped. So I did as any 21st century first time mother would do, I took to Google and found Jo Frost's sleep training technique. I'm talking about that crazy life changing idea of putting baby in his crib after bath, cuddles and any other night routines and having him self soothe. In my case that included breastfeeding. After more cuddles you say night night, place baby in bed. If your child is anything like mine, the tears will start flowing. You then sit cross legged on the floor, brave the screams, your profile to him, making sure to not make any eye contact and you lower your head. And keep this position till baby is sleeping. Easier said than done. It took 52mins for baby boy to fall asleep but it happened. This was the first time he's ever fallen asleep on his own without being rockedror nursed to bed. Jo says that the technique should not take longer than 7 days. I'm aiming for 3, in fact I'm praying for 3! Wish me luck.
