I used the babywise method with my first two children and tried with my third. It was successful with the first two but not with the third. He did not self soothe and would scream until falling asleep and then wake up 15 minutes later and scream again. Very confusing for a babywise mama but I learned that each child is different and I trusted that God not only gave me these children but also gave me the tools/instincs to know what each child needed. Trust your guts girl and know that for this child and your family you are making good choices! (By the way I just found your blog and I think it's wonderful!)

You expect someone with no experience in anything to be able to figure out that everything's OK and to just stop being upset? It's cruel. It's much better to respond to your child. Yes, it will make them act a bit more needy until they're about 2 or so because they know you'll respond, but that's the thing - they trust you. It's a great price to pay for children who trust you and know that you love them enough to pay attention to them when they need you. I'm not saying do that all the time though, because you'll just spoil them and they do need to know how to help themselves, but consider their capabilities.Angela Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02812795184595491517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114610078934043743.post-2959631406479911402012-07-07T13:17:44.949-06:002012-07-07T13:17:44.949-06:00Good for you!

You will see a HUGE difference in your child compared to non-Babywise kids when she is older and be SO thankful for it. :)Stephanie Clearynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114610078934043743.post-13707030535076380142012-06-17T11:43:26.220-06:002012-06-17T11:43:26.220-06:00Oh she is so cute and I am so impressed with your ...Oh she is so cute and I am so impressed with your method! :) One day when I have a baby I know just who to talk to!<br />ktandcamsmith.blogspot.comKatie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762881485103291084noreply@blogger.com
