Rocking chair, Ella Fitzgerald CD that I sang along with and I nursed him until he went to sleep. When he got older I rubbed his back until he was done then when he was sleeping in a big boy bed it was a story every night, sometimes 3 until he falls asleep, we finished Harry Potter and the Sorcer's Stone when he was 4. And then there are some that use the
Ferber Method and let thier children cry themselves to sleep, it s all a matter of preference. These days its one book (not a long one) and a DVD, CD or his MP3 player, he LOVES The Beatles and Bob Dylan.
Good luck mommy, whatever method you use.
