Not much has changed since 1913

The Plunket Clock

Looks like the routine I’ve been following has been around for quite some time.

The Plunket Clock was a method used in NZ dating back to 1913. It outlines a strict four hour feed, sleep and play routine which virtually mirrors that in Save Our Sleep and many other sleep training methods.

Most of these methods appear to be based on a 1950′s approach to child raising in which the baby is basically an outisider who needs to be trained to fit into the parent’s lifestyle.
