·         Swing - from birth. At 6mths when wrapping is no longer an option the swing is good 4-6mths - baby liked having cloth draped over him for security. Mother of Tuscany 4, Morrissey 3, Valen 6 months.

·         Same routine to put to bed for during the day, FEED, PLAY, SLEEP. Look for tired signs, change baby, wrap, lullaby music on, bit of water, dummy, kiss and put to bed. If whingeing, roll onto her side and pat her until almost asleep. If uncontrollable crying, calm her and then put in cot and pat. Same routine for each night Feed, bath, feed, bed. Chelsea all ages pretty much. Training her to sleep by herself and she knew what was happening next. Mother of Blake 3, Chelsea 1.

·         Having a baby mobile - from about 2 mths some soft noises/music in the background - newborn to current age Dummy, playing with her so she is tired. Mother of Kayla 4.5months.

·         Less than 6 mths rubbing of back, once over 6 mths always put baby in cot to sleep awake so that baby could settle themselves, with cot mobile going.  When less than 3 months I found putting baby into port-a-cot with the vibration button on also helped. Mother of Jorja 21 months.

·         Teach her how to sleep. Every day the same routine! Put her in her cot, say the same words every day, good night. Was with 8 months old. Mother of Vitoria 23 months.

·         As a newborn, swaddling. 6 months plus: keeping to a routine, her dummy and cuddly toy she slept with.  Mother of Rose 3y.

·         Controlled crying from newborn onwards. Mother of Melayna 5 y.o.

·         Controlled crying. Mother of Jake 15 months.

·         From very beginning, routine with bath, massage, feed, change, dim lights, story (soothing voice), brief back rub whilst in cot, then walk out. If fussing, go back in 15 min later for a bit more back rub, then back out for another 15min or so in the hopes that she would learn to settle herself. Sometimes used a dummy if lots of fussing. Mother of Annick 3y.

·         Birth to 19 months: breastfeeding, car, bus, pram 19 months +: tiredness, singing, music, tv, car, long boring walks in the stroller. Mother of Callum 23 months.
