I was thinking about sleep training for a while as my 5 month old daughter would only do short naps in the cot and otherwise we contact napped and were co-sleeping. She also required a lot of props to sleep, including rocking and bouncing on a yoga ball. However in just a few days of the sleep programme Anisa provided, she started sleeping through the night in her own room and puts herself to sleep within minutes and with no crying. If anyone is on the fence for sleep training their child, I would say go for it, because it really has made a difference, not only to her sleep but she also has fuller feeds during the day and seems more rested and a happier baby. And her parents are also more rested and happier.
