Jailbreak is my favourite. I love the drama of it all and the final tumultous ending. Fabulous stuff.

on Control or Abuse?

This is such a vexed topic. I have used controlled crying. My son and I went off to a sleep school and the wonderful women that worked at the mother baby unit helped me to help my son to sleep. I agree that CC shouldn't be used on young babies. As you say, babies cry and I think parents need to get used to the fact that their babies will be crying and waking up for at least the first 6 months of their lives. Half the problem - and I admit I fall into this category - is our expectations. It's unrealistic to expect a baby to sleep through the night in those first 6 months. Some do and some don't and sometimes the only thing you can do is rock your baby to sleep. After 6 months and beyond, there may be the opportunity to try out a number of techniques; one of which is controlled crying. I used controlled crying and it helped. My son is now 3 and still loves me and sleeps a good 10-11 hours a night.
