I'm thinking about trying pick up put down or ssh and pat with 10 month old DD. The book only arrived today and so I haven't read it from cover to cover but ideally I'd like to start tonight as DH is away for a few days and it's easier without him grunting and groaning at being disturbed (typical male huh?)
She talks about patting on the back but DD sleeps on her back so how does that work?
With PUPD, she says not to pick up until baby stands up but DD never does that.
If I've understood it correctly, I go in, pick DD up, as soon as she stops crying I put her back down again. DO I then leave the room? If she starts crying i pick her straight back up again and then straight back down when she stops etc etc. I say soothing things like "yes, i know you've suddenly woken but it's time to go back to sleep now"
and what about a blankey or toy of some sort? Ds never had anything and I've kept away from that as I'd then be worried about losing whatever it was DD got attached to. Do you think they really help?
So may questions for such a late time of night huh? Sorry! and TIA.
