Search - The Lull-A-Baby Sleep Plan: The Soothing, Superfast Way to Help Your New Baby Sleep Through the Night...and Prevent Sleep Problems Before They Develop

By my own experience The Lull-A-Baby Sleep Plan is actually a series of comfort techniques used during the Window Of Opportunity (the WOO phase) generally at the age of 3-5 months in which a baby can be guided into healthy independent sleep habits before any sleep problems develop.

Unfortunately for us we came across this book way after my daughter's "WOO" phase. So we've resorted on having to use a sleep plan for older babies (7+ months) described in this book as the H.E.L.P method.

With minor personal alteration, the H.E.L.P method worked well for us and so I give The Lull-A-Baby Sleep Plan a 4 out of 5 stars. If we had read this book prior to the "WOO" phase I would've given all 5 stars. But Please if you've been blessed to come across this book before the "WOO" or before you're baby is even born GET IT!

I can summarize from a 7 day assessment that the H.E.L.P method is effective but if your older baby is used to comfort nursing to sleep, such as mine, then you may come cross some hang ups. Unless your will is much stronger than mine, the methods will be even more successful. We've had to slack off in some of the techniques and be just as prepared to spend as much energy comforting your little one sleep as it does dealing with night wakings. Although within 3 days we saw results and after 7 days my little one can peacefully put herself to sleep at bedtime with just a bit of quite play, singing, and shushing.

To make the H.E.L.P method more applicable to our lifestyle of Co-Sleeping/Attached Parenting we've decided to only support our girlie into independent sleep during "bedtime" and Baby Wearing to sleep for her naps. If she arouses during sleep I still comfort nurse her back to sleep. I can say though, that the H.E.L.P. method has given us a good foundation to work from and after taking this break from Nursing to Bed, my daughter and I have a greater appreciation and love for each other. Her nursing is no longer so aggressive. Which BTW`she started this around 8m, we share that bonding moment again.

In Conclusion:

If you're anxious to get your baby to sleep better at night but are reserved on having your baby "Cry It Out" but are also desperate for quicker results than other "weaning" methods then The Lull-A-Baby Sleep Plan is worth the read. Even if it's just to get a better understanding of the dynamics of sleep.

My baby slept better after the first night of using these techniques!! Amazing results if you follow this plan.
