controlled crying and dummies
next week when OH is off work we're going to do controlled crying with Evie. i'm really confused though about dummies. they way i look at it is, through CC we are trying to teach her to self settle and to soother herself back to sleep without a cuddle or a bottle or any fuss from mum and dad. therefore surely if when i go back in the room i give her her dummy... i'm teaching her to rely on her dummy to be soothed? am i right in thinking this? i dont want to create extra work for us if she begins to settle.... then dummy falls out and bang - back to square one cuz she'll cry for it. my MIL seems to think i should be giving her the dummy though. what do you think?

Good luck next week its very hard to listen to them screaming but after 2-3 nights she will get used to it and youll be sleeping all night long xx
Good luck! Controlled crying is horrible while you are doing it but it doesn't last long and it's great to know that you've taught your lo to sleep well.
good luck x
