We don't do cry-it-out. Everything we do is built around responsive methods that keep you close by at all times.

Some babies do cry as they adjust to something new, just as they might during a nappy change or getting into their car seat, but we will guide you on exactly what to do whether it's at 3am and they won't settle, or when a nap has abruptly ended after 20 minutes!

That way we can minimise the anxiety which comes with "not knowing what to expect" as much as we possibly can.

We genuinely believe that good sleep and responsive parenting go hand in hand, and that you don't need to choose between the two. But I'll also have a think about another option which might be better for you.
