aww! i was just reading about controlled crying and noticed this method:
Kissing to sleep
Kiss your baby to sleep. This is especially good for anxious babies
Give your baby a kiss goodnight and then move away a little, but return almost immediately for another kiss, move away again and then back again for another kiss. Imagine you are on a piece of elastic
Stay in the room, walking back and forth until your baby is asleep. Do not pick him up or offer him a feed. Just the kisses
It may take a lot of kisses
It will take a lot of time
Invest in a warm dressing gown as you will have to repeat the kissing when he wakes in the night
so not only would alice get lots of kisses, but i would lose loads of weight from all the walking back and forth
