The Sensational Baby Sleep Plan: a practical guide to sleep-rich and stress-free parenting from recognised sleep guru Alison Scott-Wright

Product Information

In the last month, we have had some success because my mother said that we shouldn't jump everytime she makes a sound but to give her a few minutes. And it's true, sometimes, she's just being moany so I leave her and a lot of the time she falls asleep. But I don't leave her to cry out (escalating crying) - there is always a reason - whether there is wind, teething, etc. Can you get a TV in your bedroom? Not the perfect soloution but you could both watch it as you feed the baby. All I have read and understood is that if at this age a baby is still waking up several times a night it isn't through hunger but through a habit and like all negative habits we can "retrain" it. I don't agree to just let babies and children do what they do, whatever, they do often need help and guidance and our love to get them over hurdles, little funny habits or upsets and sleeping well through the night is one of those very important things both for a childs development and for the health and sanity of us mums. The Sensational Baby Sleep Plan has your baby of 8-12 weeks old naturally sleeping 12-hours through the night. That’s a natural necessity of sleep; the day and night split, sun and moonlight. Apart from the content, the form of the book is also a touch preachy with all the self-promotion. Like with any parenting book, the book spends more time justifying its claims than explaining them.

Scott-Wright promised the book would offerparents "my much sought-after advice for older babies, toddlers and young children, and will ensure peaceful and restful sleep for them and their little ones for years to come." You could certainly try a cup, petsville. A doidy cup works for some (they lap at it when they're little) or a cup with a lid. This books now allows our little one to enjoy her sleep . . . She is a happy content smiley baby now and so are mummy and daddy!' What I would urge you to do is read the last chapter of my book first, which is all about reflux, digestive issues, and dietary intolerances.Some fairly conventional wisdom on infant sleep cycles coupled with some fairly spicy suggestions around routine and regiment. Like with any parenting book, one ought to take what suits their needs. I'm sorry to say that the book wasn't any good for me but there is another book - the no cry solution, which isn't bad. It gave some good ideas such as using a transitional object for when you transfer the baby from bed to cot. In desperation to get more sleep I got this book out the library. I have never read such an anti- bf book ever. It makes BW look spot-on!

The Sensational Baby Sleep Plan: A practical guide to sleep

Alison continues to provide practical help, invaluable advice and much needed support to parents around the world through online consultations. This is why I formula fed - so dh could share the care. I don’t think I could feed every 2 hours every night, that sounds utterly exhausting and soul destroying. yes i thought very anti-bfing makes GF look very pro! however we did use some of the ideas in the book, and he was sleeping all night by 8 weeks. Alison Scott-Wright is an expert in reflux, baby sleep issues and the author of The Sensational Baby Sleep Plan. She is a Mum and Grandmother, with a love for caring. The Magic Sleep Fairy started her experience as both an auxiliary and a qualified maternity nurse, the rest is years of experience. Through her years of working with families, Alison has found a safe and positive method of helping children and babies learn to self-soothe and sleep well. How old is your DS? Would you consider co-sleeping (was the only thing that stopped me from running away)?Our amazing NCT lady (president no less) told us that it doesn't matter when you introduce a bottle. it's nothing to do with us (mothers) but all about baby - if they don't want it and get food from other sources (boob, later on weaning) then they won't have it. Other babies are fine with it whenever it is introduced. You asked for advice here from anyone who had used her methods not to be put down for trying something that someone else may not agree with. Throughout, one-on-one coaching sessions are also available if extra reassurance is needed, and there is 24/7 chat support via the smartphone app which we found especially helpful. We used it regularly each day to ask questions, and sometimes at night time where advisors were able to login to a live-stream camera and offer on-the-spot advice based on their observations of Winnie’s behaviour. On a couple of occasions when Winnie’s crying escalated in the small hours and it became apparent my soothing techniques were floundering, I used the app to receive guidance on what to do to get her settled. The support helped our confidence enormously. I have also found that she tends to talk about formula feeds rather than BF although there is a bit in there about BF. Just wondering if any BF mothers like myself have successfully used her advice. That is the whole basis of part one in ‘ The Sensational Baby Sleep Plan ’, which if you follow, your little one will be naturally sleeping 12-hours by 8-12 weeks old.

You have to make a decision but it does get easier as you start weaning him on solids. Not right away but he will get into routine. I do agree that at the last pre-bed feed the baby is often too tired to take a proper feed. If I bf DS he'll just take a few oz and then drop off again, waking a few hrs later, whereas if I express and then bottle feed, he'll take 5oz and then sleep through.Felt disappointed by the time I got to chapter 7 to actually hear what the technique is with the previous 6 chapters building up to it. There are a number of things for you to look at and unravel - work out how and why you’ve got to the situation you’re in and then you can work out how to change it. weaning is an option as well. Clearly exclusively bf isn’t filling baby up enough, they usually go through a growth spurt around then. The book holds some quite clear and practical advice on how to help your baby (and, as a consequence, you) sleep better at night. Some of the advice which suggests that you let your baby cry for a minute or so is controversial, contested, and difficult for a caring parent to enforce. But you can just skip those bits - there are plenty of helpful tips that do not rely on this method.
