Yes, that's how Tammy helped us too with our situation. The first 4-5 nights we exaggerated my son's bedtime to 9pm. It's naturally moved earlier to 8:30pm. He sleeps until 6:15am straight and has slept until 6:45pm a few mornings. It's an amazing feeling to put your child down, close the gate (in our case) and walk right out without a cry or a "mommy." I feel so great and refreshed having a solid 7-8 hrs of uninterrupted sleep.....

Good to hear that she is doing better Banane! Baylee had a terrible day today but I think he was sick (diarrhea and teething pain I think...). Generally after I had to let him cry it out a week ago he been really good with going to bed easily. He still wakes for a feed once or sometimes twice but that is over a 10 hour period so it's ok. Plus I know that lots of people say that by his age (8 months) he shouldn't be needing a night time feed, I just worry that he does. He isn't a big baby at all and is still struggling to eat any solids at all so I don't want to eliminate the night feed until I am sure that he is eating enough in the day. Good luck everyone

obiwan gave the URL above for the Sleep Fairy. She's an American living in Singapore, but is currently back in the States finishing up her masters. She is taking appts though.
Plse do contact her if interested as she'll be honest and tell you if she can help you or not. She helped our family a great deal and sounds like Obiwan and hbw10 had good experiences with her as well.

Obiwan - I see that the sleep fairy is based in Singapore (and now she is in the U.S.) How did you communicate with her and how did you pay her for her services? Thanks.
Day 6, moved sleep time up by 15 minutes, no problem, slept through the night, but still waking up at 6am, looks like i have to adjust my wake up instead!
Obiwan, 6am is fantastic. That's my target these days especially since we had a long spate of 5ams with not wanting to go back to sleep! Great job in sticking to your plan - we are still trying to work out my 9-month-old's sleeping and I found that not going in for the night wakings worked better than going in as he would get so much more agitated whenever he saw us.

sleep fairy can skype you from the US.
Yes Bumbeeno, exactly right. We don't go in at night and she starts crying less and less and settles back to sleep within a couple of minutes. She still wakes up between 5.40am to 5.50am, but we do not go in and get her until after 6am. I also suspect the waking is due to the sun shining in, black-outs may help.
