Advantages: Enables baby & parents to get restful nights sleep

Disadvantages: Is hard going for first couple of nights

The controlled crying method is not an easy option but after months of sleep problems with our first son we decided to give it a go. We did try other suggestions first (e.g playing soothing music after putting him down or lying down next to cot etc) but nothing worked. The first 2 nights of controlled crying were extremely hard but on night 3 we were able to put him down without any fuss & he slept all night. After that our son has been a good sleeper & much happier during the day. There have been (& still are) the odd few nights every once in a while where he plays up before bedtime (now being a toddler!) but he still sleeps through OK. Another review likened this method to the RSPCC ad which is ridiculous - controlled crying doesn't mean sticking baby in a cot & leaving him without a care or second thought - you are constantly going in to reassure him that you are still around.
