for this search I used just the letters pantl

to do a search: there’s the ‘search’ button located in the upper right hand corner of the screen

you put the key word/s you’re searching for

then you choose “Topic Subject” from the drop- down menu of “Search In”

then I like to choose “All Forums” from the drop- down menu of “Search Forum”

then I like to choose “Topic Start Date” from the drop- down menu of “Sort Results By” (this way I get all the posts from the past that might help me)

It did’nt work for us, but then again, I never could read the whole book. I just skimmed as much as I could. I have heard of other moms on here that it did work for. We ended up doing our own method. I am always willing to share if nothing else works for you. My method takes a lot of time and patients though. Of course, if you read my other posts, we are back to getting up about 3 times a night, but I really think he is teething or in some sort of pain.

Worked great for us, but takes more time and patience than CIO. If CIO is not your style or hasn’t worked for you (both our gerdlings puked within a couple minutes if I ever left them to CIO), then I recommend this as a good option.

I am new to this forum and yes a first time mom. My child, recently just turned 1-year old and was dignaosed with reflux at 2 months of age.

We are running into a situation where she will not sleep the entire night through – she wakes up and wants to be held and/or rocked back to sleep or wants another bottle.

My doctor has told me not give her a bottle at night anymore despite her requests and to let her cry. I was told to put her in her bed still somewhat or completly awake and let her cry herself to sleep. I am finding both of these really hard to do; I feel like I am neglecting my child or something especially when she starts chocking from too much crying. The doctor said it would cause her some discomfort with her reflux for approx a week or so; at least until she is able to go to sleep on her own. I have been letting her cry for longer periods before responding to her but can’t bare to not respond at all.

I have purchased the “No Sleep Solution” book but haven’t read it yet. My child is very loving – loves to give hugs. I am worried that she will stop this if I do not respond to her when she cries. Any advise would be helpful. wendyml2008-01-04 08:49:31

Sorry, I just found one of my other posts about the same thing and I’ll post it here. There is a post above yours called sleep and napping or something like that and that mom was also having trouble and was getting the no cry sleep solution. You could always pm her too and see what worked for her.

I wish I could remember in detail what I did, but it basically went like this. I slept in the room where I wanted Justice to sleep. I wanted him in his room and in his crib. So, we put a matress on the floor in that room and that is where I slept. At his bedtime and once he was tired, I would sing him a song. Our song is Jesus loves you, then we pray. After that I put him in the crib. Here is where you can do what you think is best. You can either let them cry a little or just lay them back down once they sit or stand. With Justice I did both. Everytime Justice would sit or stand I would lay him back down. He is very determined so sometimes, I would just sit there and let him look at me and cry and then I would eventually go to him and start the laying him down thing. Once he would lay still for me I would rub his lower back in large circles. You will also want to keep a sleep journal so you can see the progress. I would have never known it was working if I hadn’t kept mine. With it I could see the amazing progress that he was making. I don’t like the cio method, but was okay with some crying. I think there was a big difference in Justice’s cry when I was in the room and when I would leave. When I was in the room with him he would cry like he was mad. If I left he got frantic. I have a friend that is big into no crying and she agreed with the whole plan. It takes much longer than crying it out does, but was worth it to me. Dr. Sears talks about how if your baby becomes very clingy when doing the cio method that you need to stop doing it. He does not agree with cio, but says if you decide to do it that is a sign that you should stop. I wouldn’t call what I did cio since he was never alone and I tryed to help him. I am still amazed to be honest that it worked. A few other things are if you are breast feeding, you need to use your judgement on when or if to feed the baby. With Justice the first few nights I did fed him a few times because he had been eating all night long and I was very full and in a lot of pain. If any of this does not make sense please let me know. I feel like I am leaving some stuff out, but I think that was the basics. Oh, if you get aggrivated, LEAVE THE ROOM!!!!!!!!!! Even if for that night your baby has to cio. I would get very angry at Justice and just needed to leave. That is where my husband would step in or I would get on this site and vent. I would try not to stay away for too long, but wanted to be calm before going back. I hope something works for you soon. Please keep us updated. Oh, one more thing. My older son and husband slept in the same room together and they had a sound machine in the room with them also so that they were not being woken up all night long. It is tough, but so worth it!
