Elizabeth Pantley’s Eight Sleep Tips
Pinky McKay
Zen bedtime This article made a big different to my mind set on baby and sleep.
I strongly recommend that you look at co-sleeping even if you only start with the day naps.
This is how I came from a screaming violent mess to a functioning human mother!

Have you been feeding your baby to sleep?
Elizabeth Pantley's book talks about how to slowly break this habit if you do not like it.
Can you possibly read some really important information about crying?
Please look at this article they are professional people who know what they are talking about
Please once you have some sleep under your eyes....please come back and read some really interesting information on human children's sleep needs!

Hi Megan
This is your Aunty Sue here! I foundyour card at the house of my other nieces (won't say their names to protect their anonymity!).
I love your blog. It's great that you have decided to take a stand on this. I myself just used to do the breastfeed-to-sleep, sleep with the baby thing and also hated the 'let them cry' thing, and just didn't comment when other mothers were talking about how their babies slept 'through the night'. This was 25 years ago, so things haven't changed much, if young mothers are still being told that theri babies are supposed to sleep all night from a very early age.
I have to admit that when our oldest was about 20 months, we did the crying thing at bedtime for a few days, but gave him a cuddly toy to sleep with and kept going in when he was crying, and reminding him that 'teddy' was with him, and he could go to sleep now. I wonder if that's a modified version of the 'crying it out' technique? It still didn't feel good, and I didn't do it with the next three, in fact I can't really remember how they started sleeping on their own. Actually, now that I think about it, they wouldn't have been on their own, they would have been sleeping in a room with big brother or sister, that was probably how it happened, so there wasn't any crying that I can remember.
I like the fact that you have really done your research on this -it really adds weight to what you're saying to see all the quotes and information from all sorts of people.
Congratulations, Megan. I'm looking forward to seeing how things develop as Ara grows up.
Lots and lots of love
Sue
How lucky am I!
I know not all of you out there have such a wonderful Aunt like I do.
But belive me there are people who will suport you just start talking to your friends at coffee groups, playcentre, mainly music...any group of parents and you'll start finding like minded people.
Thank you so much for your story Sue and we look forward to catching up lots.
Love
Megan
wow these tips can be of great help to nurturing parents.Thanks for sharing..:)
Hi,
Thanks for the tips. These symptoms to watch out for in children are really helpful. My husband was diagnosed with sleep apnea a year or two ago and I have heard that it often runs in families. I am a little bit concerned that our children might have it as well. Now I know more about what to look for.
