The next step to helping your baby sleep longer is to determine the difference between sleeping noises and awake noises. When she makes a noise: Stop. Listen. Wait. Peek.

"Last night he was nursing and I pulled him off and put my finger under his chin. I was thinking, 'This will never work; he'll be mad!' -- but it worked, he went to sleep! The other trick is working too. When I take him off and then roll over, he thinks I'm asleep, then he goes to sleep, too!"
--Carol, mother of 9-month-old Ben
