Trust me, it works but you’ve got to be strong. If you’re caving in after an hour he knows that it’s worth him keep going as you’ll eventually be along. It’s the worst thing to do. If you’ve left him (cos you know he’s, safe, fed, warm etc) he will occasionally do a little cry but then give up quickly as he knows nobody is coming (cos it’s sleep time). Whichever book you have that tells you to run into him every time he cries in the night should be burned. Well it does work in a way. It gets him back to sleep no problem. That's not really the hard part. The hard part is him staying asleep. Nothing says go in as soon as he starts crying. but it does say when it's clear he's not going to go back to sleep on his own then go in, lie him down, calm him down and leave again. Which puts him back to sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remind me to interrogate you on the last half century of popular culture sometime, to see if you have any blind spots. FWIW, I've certainly heard of Fireman Sam, but having never watched it, I couldn't identify it from a cartoon still of a generic kid, with no other clues. To be honest, I wouldn't expect you to have watched it. it's set in Wales and with your obvious Welshist behaviour, I fully expect it to have been banned in the Mooney house 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was lovely to just sit and watch. I'd be careful where on the Internet you put that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone cries for attention, then gets the attention are they more or less likely to keep doing it? Especially in the frequency your boy is doing it. It’s become a habit and he’s probably doing it subconsciously. You get to a point where they don’t need feeding through the night anymore so you know they won’t be hungry. We just agreed when to put the plan into action and after 2 rough nights it was sorted. Habit changed. The longer you leave it the harder it will be to crack the habit.

Davkaus Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) My little one has realised that when I ignore her usual grumbling and crying, I still come running to comfort her if she fakes being in pain. Manipulative little shit can't even roll over yet but she's playing mind games. Edited December 21, 2022 by Davkaus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll probably try it as we’ve got nothing to lose The thing is, you have to fully commit to it. If one of you caves after an hour it reinforces the message that if he cries long enough you’ll eventually come. He’ll try his luck a few times but eventually realise (as sad as it sounds) nobody will come. The result is a win/win for everyone. He’s happier because he’s getting good quality sleep, and you’re happier because you’re getting good quality sleep. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
