Many parents hope they'll find the magic solution to turn their child into a good sleeper.
The first is to be consistent in your approach to teaching your child good sleeping habits. Don't switch from plan to plan haphazardly. If you decide that you are not going to rock your baby to sleep, then don't give in after five minutes or 45 minutes. If you give in, you will simply have taught your baby that it is worth her while to persist for as long as possible. Many parents make the mistake of trying something for too short a time.
