It's the number one achievement of a mum or a dad to get their Baby finally to sleep as soon as possible. Some kids are easy to handle but others do need a lot of attention (I know what I am talking about). But still, we do nearly EVERYTHING to get them to sleep. Even if we make fools of ourselves.

I used to try to read her to sleep....until she slept... just so she wouldn't piss off the rest of the household.

Not my baby, my niece.

We discovered that when my niece was crying she would stop instantly if I looked her in the face and calmly said 'That's not going to work on me. Now pack it in and go to sleep!' and after a few moments she would doze off. For some reason it only worked when I did it.

My sister would call me up occasionally to come round if she was having difficulty getting my niece to sleep. She called quite frequently during the teething stage. I would literally go round, look at my niece, say the magic words, wait a moment, turn round and then leave.

Drive around the neighborhood with him in the car seat. Carefully get him out and put him to bed afterwards. Worked all the time on fussy nights.
