Thank you Super Nanny!
Cooper has been having a hard time sleeping through the night for a long time now. We tried many things to get him back to sleep in his crib but nothing seemed to work. This would usually leave one of us sleeping on the couch with him or he would end up in our bed. We finally decided there had to be something we could do to get a good nights sleep. I found my Super Nanny book, courtesy of Teri, and read the section on getting children back to sleep in their own bed. It said we should go into his room, lay him back down, cover him with his blanket, rub his back and make 'hush' or 'shush' sounds without making eye contact for a minute or two and then to leave. The first night was horrible. We ended up having to go back into his room 5 or 6 times before he actually went back to sleep. However it has only taken 4 nights and he is sleeping in his crib and staying there all night. He does wake up once or twice but we are able to get him back to bed without taking him out of his crib and without losing too much sleep. I will be the first to recommend this book to anyone. Thank you, thank you!!!
