Must-Know Advice from the Sleep Lady
Kim West: My Sleep Lady Shuffle gently helps babies 6 months and older learn how to fall asleep -- and fall back to sleep -- on their own without using cry-it-out-style techniques. In a nutshell, the method involves putting your child down awake and comforting your child while you sit next to the crib. Every few nights, you move farther away, while continuing to soothe from afar, until you're eventually outside the door -- and finally, back in your own bed. Within a couple of weeks, you should be able to put your baby down, say good night, and walk out the door knowing that she'll be able to fall asleep without crutches such as nursing, rocking, or patting.

4/28/2011 11:54:30 AM Report AbuseTried this too the longer I stay in the room the longer she cries. I put her down after a bottle and sometimes she will not cry get comfy and fall asleep and sometimes she will cry from anywhere from 1 minute to 10 minutes to fall asleep. I have to let her cry otherwise trying to comfort her makes the tiem last longer. To think this works with most or all babies is cfazy and clearly this person had it easy
