Has anyone got a copy of the NCSS they would be happy to lend me?

[Ruth_Baldock]

Anyone? Or does anyone have any experiences with the NCSS they could tell me about?

Lex is 6m. I cannot take the sleep deprivation anymore. Help!

Hi Ruth

Really sorry to hear you are having a tough time with sleep deprivation. I have no NCSS experience, but just wanted to say that daughter was also a nightmare (big shock after son who was amazing) and at about 6 months I too had pretty much lost the will to live. At about 7 months though, we really did seem to turn a corner. We weaned at 6 months, but I don't think the meals themselves made a huge difference, it was more that knowing she had been filled up a bit more during the day gave me the confidence to start being a little stricter with not immediately offering a bf at night wake ups. I thought it would be really tough and she would refuse to go back to sleep without milk, but was surprised that she settled pretty well (we obviously had the inevitable relapses from time to time) with a dummy (if that is something you can/would use) a ssshh and patting etc. My husband was instrumental in this though, as he would often be the one to go to her so that she could not smell the milk on me.

Really good luck and hope things start to improve, and sorry if this is all really obvious and you have tried it all. Just wanted to give my experiences that a few weeks on from the stage you are at there really was light at the end of the tunnel .

I've got a copy. Bought to try and gently sort out my almost 11 mo who is still a terrible sleeper

But currently too tired to read it or implement a plan so you're welcome to borrow it until I feel stronger!

I was also wondering when reading the title but it must be the No Cry Sleep Solution
