Sleeping throught the night.
"esther323" wrote in message link.net... How do all you military mom do it? This is my first deployment (or my husband's anyhow). I hate it but we are keeping very busy. Stay very busy, and like you're trying to do, maintain a routine. It takes my kids a while into a deployment to chill out into their normal selves, and the younger they are, the harder its been. How long has your DH been gone? Is it possible your daughter is still adjusting? -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

I disagree with the whole crying it out philosophy and see nothing to be gained from leaving a miserable child to cry alone. I'd worry less about how long you spend in your daughter's room and work more on Or because you convinced your baby that every little problem needs to be dealt with by mommy and mommy alone. When your four your year old bitch slaps another kid on the playground and cries when the get punched in the gut will you soothe them then? all (most?) kids do. I have one who slept through from about 12 months and another who didn't consistently sleep without waking at least once (and calling for us) until around age three. By doing nothing but a routine our 1st slept thru the night (greater than 5hrs) at 3 months and the 2nd at 6months. We soothed them and cared for them when they were in pain or needed something but made sure that we didn't out of our own arrogance condition them to need mommy & daddy for every little thing. Never IMHO. The way I see it a child cries because they need you. Unless you're a selfish mommy who conditioned their child to have their every need dealt with by mommy. Only mommy can make you feel better! I'm not a cruel mommy..you just can't take care of yourself!!! Your child won't be scarred for life or even feel abandonned so long as you give them plenty of love and attention thru the day and you don't impose your selfish values on them. -Sanjay |
