Hi Cellow,
Hmm... sleep training, actually i did it when my gal passed her colic stage. I placed her in her baby cot around 7+pm daily and she will wail in protest to no avail. After awhile, she knows and she will just soothe herself to sleep.
Nowsadays, she will roll and play w her pacifier until she is tired then sleep. It takes around 30mins for her to go to dreamland but she can be left alone in her baby cot while I have my dinner.
The 1st step i guess is to decide the sleeping time you want to set. Then u need to stick to it for awhile (even during the weekends) so that the baby get used to it. I have a routine to 'warn' my gal that her bedtime is due. I will draw the curtains, switch off the lights and switch on the nightlight. Wipe her down and changes her pjs (this is the part where she starts whining). Give her milk which she will drink alittle bit, then cont to whine. I ignored her whining and set her in her bb cot to roll and sit up. When she gets tired, I give her the remaining milk, then she will sleep. As for sleeping thru the night, I attribute my success to Ming's tip. I gave my gal a 10.30pm dream feed (Ming's advice) and then she will sleep all the way until 7.30am.
Perseverance is the key. No pat pat of backside also. Wish you luck! Send me back 100tons of baby dust in return! Hahahahhaha...
