They wonder what life will be like if the child is free to get out of bed whenever she wants will he be roaming the halls at night?

Feeding every 2 hoursToday, I’m providing an answer for a question comes from Francine, and she writes,
“my daughter is five months old, and wakes to eat two or three ounces every two hours. Is it OK to not feed her?”

Today I want to talk a little bit about playing in the cot. If you are a veteran of the BabyWinkz Sleep Sense program, this might sound like something you’ve experienced. If you’re not, this might sound like the craziest thing ever.

If you’ve got a child who can sleep well, can sleep independently, feel great about their cot, is happy to go there when it’s sleep time, you will find that there will be periods in your child’s life where they’re having a party in that cot all by themselves.

Well I have got three tips around that. Read more

Generally their question are similar to this: “Judy, I’ve noticed she’s started putting her thumb in her mouth as her way of self soothing. I don’t know if I should be encouraging it, discouraging it, what should I do?” Read more
