"We are grateful to Evi, it was one of the best decisions we made to start the new anaesthesia, according to Evi's advice.
After our big talk, we started the sleep programme in the evening.
Needless to say, we didn't dare to follow Évi's advice exactly.
We were afraid of crying too much, we thought we'd pick out a couple of good tips and it would work anyway...it didn't.
Again, Iok fell asleep only by rocking.
And the funny thing is that he cried even when we rocked him.
After 3 days, and on the verge of exhaustion, we said we had nothing to lose, we would follow exactly what Evie said, she cries even when rocked, it doesn't matter if we just put her in her bed and she cries.
We couldn't believe it, but he cried less this way than when he was rocked. 30 minutes and she was asleep.
We also realised that it was worse to pour oil on the fire when he was crying and we put him down again.
So we didn't leave him alone, we stayed with him the whole time and our little boy fell asleep on his own!
The first night I had to go in 4 times to help her fall asleep, but the second night she fell asleep on her own in 10 minutes and only 1x
we went in to feed him, we would still feed him.
And slowly, on day 4, his daytime naps lasted 1.5-2 hours.
And we got our quality time back.
Before that, Enoch slept 40 minutes at most during the day, he was a fussy, crying baby, no wonder, as he didn't sleep well at night or enough during the day.
And a daytime lullaby that took 1 hour...we thought Baby Shark was going to drive us crazy, we rocked him to sleep, he only calmed down on that.
This music was played about 50 times a day.
My back couldn't take all the lying on my lap anymore, and actually my little boy couldn't take it either, he wasn't relaxed, frankly we adults don't sleep in a standing position either. Because he preferred his head on my shoulder with his head turned outwards.
Dear Mum reading this, there is nothing impossible if you need to make a change regarding your baby's sleep, and if you ask Eve for advice, dare to follow it, it is worth it !
Even if the beginning is difficult.
It will soon bear fruit and after 3 days we have already felt a big change.
It's been almost 2 weeks now, and he sleeps from 18.15 to 7 in the morning.
We go in once to feed him and clean him up."
