[quote=Anonymous]This was one book among many that we read and some of what Suzy said did make a lot of sense to me. So I took some of her advice, combined with a bit of Weissbluth and a bit of Happiest Baby on hte Block and created my own system. What helped us was to stop feeding DD when she reached 12 lbs. The ped said she didn't need the overnight feed at that stage and better to cut out the habit of her relying on it earlier than later. So once we eliminated that (which took DD a few nights to get used to - she cried and we rocked/held until she realized we weren't feeding) she started sleeping longer stretches. We also employed the early bedtime strategy and were really consistent about it - down by 8p every night. We swaddled for several months (probably longer than most), let her sleep with paci and she eventually got the hang of sleeping all night long. We didn't rush in immediately if she started fussing but didn't let her cry it out either. Hope this is helpful! [/quote]
