Guest guest Posted July 6, 2002 Report Share Posted July 6, 2002 Hey Christy thanks for the info-very interesting. Isn't it hard being a mommy -- especially a first time one. Now with very similar I never let her on her head-stretching moving holding her putting her on different cushions pillows positions -- it a hoot somedays. You're being a great mommy and want what's best for your child-that is what good mommys do. Others are experiencing worse troubles than we but that doesn't make us want or expect anything less for our babies so don't feel bad about that. As far as Abby being used to you holding her-just ease her back out of it-does that make sense? Let her fuss a little more each time you lay her down and she will get used to it. I am not a big advocate for letting babies cry it out- I am a big wussy mommy with that but- I will let fuss some before I pick her up again-and sometimes she yells out one or two times and then when I come in to get her she has already started to comfort herself and fall asleep. 's birthday is 3/8 and mine 3/10 so our babies are really close in age. that is cool. Addy and Abby are at the age where they can learn to comfort themselves so we have to try and let them. What works for me is I will lay her down run out to the kitchen unload the dishwasher or throw in a load of laundry, etc., some small task and then if she is still fussing after I have done that then I go back in and comfort her some more. Does she have a lovey? like a paci animal blanket, etc.???? has this bunny I give her that she curls up with and that seems to help. Take it one step at a time- and keep up the great mommy work oh and if hubby asks again tell him you were doing mommy work! :-) Beck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
