This weekend Stephen and I have been trying the Baby Whisperer's techniques on getting a baby to sleep without having to be rocked to sleep and on staying asleep throughout the night. So far I have spent countless hours with Sophie picking her up from her cot when she is crying and putting her back down as soon as she stops. Even though this technique is much more labour intensive and back breaking than the controlled crying method where you let a baby cry for increasingly longer periods of time before they actually cry themselves to sleep I like it much better because it just breaks my heart to hear Sophie cry and I don't want her to ever think that I am not there for her when she needs me. But I think that all the effort is paying off because this morning Sophie went off without a whimper... Fingers crossed!
We had a beautiful weekend and Saturday some friends came 'round to see Sophie and I. Here are the pics of us all lounging in the sun in the garden... What an April!
