I was hoping that even with returning to work, that I would still be able to find the time to keep this blog updated. Let's be real...there is no time! I plan to write a catch up post with pictures and the low down of what has happened these past 2 months but for now this is what pushed me to write.
While I'm sitting here putting my baby to sleep for the 2nd time (you know, since toes won the first time), I stumbled across this blog posting and it is so perfectly written. I really don't know how people could think crying it out this young, or younger, is acceptable. Why would you want your helpless baby to "fall" asleep based on his fears that he is not loved? My baby cries only when he has needs that need to be met, and I will always be there to meet them..even if that means taking an hour out of my day or night just to put my baby down to sleep happily. It honestly breaks my heart to hear him cry and when he is old enough for me to be okay with crying it out, I know it will still kill me. I want my baby to learn trust, and that when he cries, he will get what he needs. It is his only way to communicate right now. I know there are plenty of people who see crying it out as okay, but at such a young age it does more harm than good and that is not worth it to me. I love knowing that my baby feels loved and secure, not lost and alone.
Okay, enough of my rambling, I could go on forever with a topic like this. Just read the blog that I have posted. It's incredible if you have views similar to my own. Oh and did I mention, it took a whole 10 minutes for my bug to quietly fall asleep safe and sound in my arms? So not worth crying it out! They only stay little for so long....
