Save Our Sleep - Tizzie Hall

Is anyone else using/used the methods in this book?

There are a few questions I've got that either the books not answering or I'm missing so I'd like to hear from those who've used it.

My boy's sleep cycle seems to be 30min.

When I put him down at night 7pm, he cries a bit falls asleep then wakes up after 30min. Now I do nothing he cries a bit then goes back to sleep and I don't hear from him again for hours. During the day, he cries more then sleeps for 30min and wakes up crying. This crying sound/looks the same at the 7.45pm cry - do I get him up or leave him and see if he goes back to sleep like he does at night?

He has a stint in the car seat every morning and afternoon. When he falls asleep in the car which is not at a nap time do I get him up as soon as the car stops? Or let him stay asleep in the capsule? Or attempt to transfer him to the cot?

I'm getting to grips with the nap times and the CIO part, but I BF my boy and feed him way more often than 4hrly. I'm putting effort into not letting him fall asleep while BF, but do you think the sleep training will still work if I don't use her feed times?
I also don't want to dreamfeed as it's past my bed time and I'm happy with him night feeding so wasn't planning on doing her weaning approach either.

TIA

which area are you, I hear the sleep clinic has been amazing for a few mums I know in a similar situation. If you aren't sure where one is in your area maybe get hold of your plunket nurse they should know where one is. I know that there is one in manurewa. Basically you stay there for a day and they monitor you and then show you good routines and advice, I've only heard good things about it. A friend of mine went a few months ago we both had the same problem with a babies having 10min-30min naps and they were crying alot from being so overtired, she went there and has never looked back and we copied the advise she got now my girl sleeps 3 good sleeps during the day up to 2-3 hours and sleeps through the night. You might just need a good routine.

It sounds like while you have read the Tizzie Hall book, your son has not

Maybe what you are finding is the inevitable meshing of your child's routines with what someone else says he 'should' be doing.

4 months is around the start for most babies to fall into a rhythm or pattern to the day. I would use the book as a guideline and just see where you and your son fit within it.

Not all babies want to be bf every 4 hours, and dreamfeeds don't work for all babies either.
