That's DEF not something you want to have in your vocab. How terrible!!! So no more night terrors now? Yeah, that sleep through the night thing is such a loaded question. It's like some parents want to use it as proof that they rock as parents. I think every baby is different. Mine is pretty high maintenance! She actually does sleep through the night though usually--not since 2 months though, I don't think that's healthy!! But at about 5 months I stopped nursing her at night and she eventually started sleeping through....We're pretty lucky that that part was as easy as it was considering the difficulty we have getting her to go to sleep!!<br /><br />So glad we'll be keeping in touch now!! I can't wait to meet Dimitri and introduce him to Hannah!!terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12751280167534440357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343540001916446025.post-91822591548397338592010-03-30T22:51:00.465-04:002010-03-30T22:51:00.465-04:00Hi Terri.

Dimitri is 10 months and he still wakes up at 1 or 2 am and cries. Starting from 4 months we had night terrors - not something a parent want to have in his vocabulary. At 8 months we finally got through it and also learned to go to bed after we nursed and not during it, but we still don't sleep through the night. <br />We tried everything and we do work as a team - I have to give it to Brian. But nothing helps. And I hate hearing: "My child slept through the night since she was 2 months old".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343540001916446025.post-77334438559536452010-03-30T20:10:26.802-04:002010-03-30T20:10:26.802-04:00You are welcome, I sure hope it helps a lot.

I looked it up on Amazon and read the reviews and read a couple pages from the inside and then followed the trail of similar books that Amazon provides and found one that I think is more my style called Raising Your Spirited Child by Mary Kurcinka. It seems a little more granola :) For some reason I never thought to look for books on this topic so thank you again for suggesting that!! I'm going to see if I can find something at the library.<br /><br />And mommy dearest, I hear ya. I've been singing that song since the get go....It's not getting me very far....terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12751280167534440357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343540001916446025.post-83300715246312577022010-03-30T12:05:12.271-04:002010-03-30T12:05:12.271-04:00I feel for you peach.

Crying is her way to control the world around her. She doesn't want change because she's used to this. It will be hard, but teaching her that she cannot control people with crying will benefit all of you in the long run.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530529882981994434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343540001916446025.post-21469679954952398202010-03-30T11:53:12.697-04:002010-03-30T11:53:12.697-04:00There is a book by Dr. James Dobson called "T...There is a book by Dr. James Dobson called "The Strong Willed Child." I recommend it. The doctor is reputable for being very successful with his research and advice to parents that may need help. It appears at this point that maybe a new approach that will work for all three of you may be worth trying.<br />Get some rest.<br />xoJeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319851464299986107noreply@blogger.com
