Hi, You can read about the gina ford method. It focuses very much on routine and predictability just as the good doctor above has mentioned. also http://www.babywinkz.com/. You could also register with babyzone and read other parents experiences.

Even as we discuss, my 4 year old has ensured that i sleep in her bed until she blacks out, that is when i sneak out. By any chance she wakes up at night which is very rare, she sneaks into my bed in the middle of the night. I guess the best is to take it with humour and not be so stressed about it. I have learnt that this things do not last, kids grow up eventually.

Lakini hiyo ya landing/gymnastics with the child in bed, strongly discouraged. Si you get him/her a baby cot or move her to the room as soon as she falls asleep. Immediately they fall asleep, the sleep is deep so by the time they realise that they are not in mum's bed, its almost 3am.

Waoh... @impunity, please say those words again, very very slooooowwwlllyyy.... with your eyes closed, assume you are looking at a week's old baby who looks like you and has your blood flowing through their little veins, then report back.
