slow retreat
hia.
my 8 month old has started to develop seperation anxiety and this is effecting her falling to sleep some nights. she cries as soon as we leave the room.
I have read somewhere about a slow retreat technique but can't find where I read it and was wondering if you could help me!!
I think it mentioned staying in the room reading a book while they fell asleep and moving further away from the cot everynight??? Am I remembering it right?
Or does anybody know of any other techniques that may help??
thanks
