There is absolutely nothing wrong with letting baby cry a little bit, but letting them cry until vomiting is outright absurd. I, too, participate in something like this, however, my daughter doesn't really cry when I put her down because she's on a schedule and she knows that once she's had her bath, bottle, snuggles and woobie, its lights out and she goes right to sleep more often than not.
I didn't see any bashing on here, but I think to come on here and state it makes you sad is not necessary. If you don't like it, don't comment. We all believe in different methods of parenting and what works for one person may not work for the next person, and it may not be their cup of tea either. But I don't think insinuating that someone's choice in parenting (unless its downright vile) is wrong or "sad". Just my opinion.
I was reading your comments and I guess I skipped a few up there lol whoops. But anyways I think every parent raises their child different and that's ok. What works for one person might not work on the next but no need to belittle someone over it.
thats what i do with ayva. she knows her schedule but in order for her to realize it was bedtime i did it this way. now she goes to sleep when i lay her in her crib. and that is what upset me...being told that its sad the way i parent...awesome
@jazzi89 I don't like to hear my son cry but that's just me. But when I know he's being silly and just wants to be carried I let him whine. There's a difference. But it is hard to get things done.
@ashleyfew glad I could make you laugh. Lol. I believe they can be spoiled to a certain extent. When I went home for Thanksgiving, my baby was barely a month old. My mil held him almost the entire time. When he'd nap, she would still hold him. After that week, it took me almost 2 weeks to "fix" it. I like for him to nap in his crib, I like him to have tummy time, swing time.... After her holding him so much, he didn't want those things, just to be held. My husband is deployed, I'm alone with a newborn and 3yr old, I can't hold him nonstop. *sorry so long* LOL
As a third party just reading all messages, no one bashes anyone here. They simply stated that letting a child cry to the point of vomiting or making themselves sick is sad. Not the way you parent. Big difference!
I think this is amazing bc although it is hard to hear my lo cry bc she is my first and she turned one month yesterday she does well at night time I feed her at about 9pm then 12:30am or 1am then she won't wake up until 5:30 or 6am then again at about 8:30am and she eats about 4oz every feeding. But I started noticing that bc the way her dad does feedings she is becoming dependent on us holding her and she wakes up when she gets put down so I during the day will put her down and walk away for about 3 minutes and when I come back to get her shes just thankful shes in the same room so stops crying about being held and falls asleep. So do u think I should do this with my little one and when is good age to stop?
its totally up to u if ud wanna start doing it. i started ayva around 2 months and she has been sleeping thru the night for almost 3 months straight 10 to 12 hrs a night. every once in a while she fights sleep. and i go back to this but shes usually out within a few mins of whining
If you look back up the thread to read about the method was just posted, I really and truly belive that is the tread they were speaking of. Just trying to be helpful
Jazzi89, sorry this thread went to shit. Sorry some of the posts seemed uncalled for. You're not doing anything wrong, so dont let others tell you otherwise. Babe is taken care of and loved I'm sure, so keep on rockin momma!
I'm not bashing...just wondering.g if its healthy to let such young infants go 12 hours without a bottle? I realize they don't always wake up to eat through the night but 10-12 hours without food seems crazy....
Ok I'll try that I'm just going to start super slow just by having her not being dependent on being held. Then by not needing the swing bc she loves that thing too much lol. And once shes little older ill try and have her make it through the night only bc shes still small and sleeps pretty well for her age cause technically she only eats at 1am then 6am until what I consider day time lol cause 6am still early 4 me
its perfectly fine for them to go that long without a bottle @Mommyo4 as long as they eat enough during the day.
@jules ya i weaned ayva off nighttime feedings. she hasnt had one since she was 2 months old. and ya i wont let ayva sleep in her swing. as soon as i notice she starts dozing i pick her up and put her in bed
