How to get your baby to sleep in his Cot or Crib

The lesson has three major parts.

1: Take one child who has been sleeping with his mother for about six months.
2: Place child in cot one night after about six months, including a couple of months trying to get him to sleep alone.
3: Child sleeps for ten hours, mum wakes in a panic, both parents in shock.

And that's how it happened this week. It's not always that good, but last night Jacqui put him down at 22:30 for the second time and he stayed there until 06:30 which is cool.

He also talks to himself when he wakes up in the early mornings, it's still cute hearing him warbling away in the early hours ;). And he has learned the skill of drifting off to sleep when he wakes, excellent.

So this has gone from a concern about how we were going to make it happen to something else that is just working for us. We really have been so lucky with him

And a note to Gene, you said Sasha just made the change at about six months. It appears great babies think alike.
