Both of my girls were Babywise AND co-sleeping babies. Despite a rough 8 week mark with the second, we made it through and have two kids that still sleep a good amount. Finding the approach that works for you and listening to your gut when there seems to work are the best ideas. Enjoy your new mommy-hood!The Barn Mamahttp://www.barnmama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086626171561679956.post-28497404151854329142010-07-03T23:37:46.370+10:002010-07-03T23:37:46.370+10:00I read several of her books and found them extreme...I read several of her books and found them extremely helpful.

I can already see this is true and ours isn't even here yet! I probaby lean more toward the attachment parenting style and considering that's mostly the norm here in China, and our present nomadic status, I think we're going to give co-sleeping a shot. But I'm all about not tying myself to one 'philosophy'. Just trying a bit of everything to see what works. And I totally agree about the internet! Since living here, Google is my best friend (well, that and a VPN)!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474327650954862237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086626171561679956.post-7880228000653085712010-07-03T19:58:14.629+10:002010-07-03T19:58:14.629+10:00I def agree that we have all to do what works for ...I def agree that we have all to do what works for us. As far as sleeping, what worked for me was sleeping with my baby for her first eight months. I lived in Japan for a couple of years and what we Americans term 'attachment parenting' (co-sleeping, breastfeeding, baby-wearing, etc.) is just normal there and in so many places in the world. <br /><br />I LOVED co-sleeping. It was very comforting and natural for BOTH of us. Everyone told me that I was spoiling her and that she would never sleep alone in a crib. PLEASE! She had NO adjustment/transition issues whatsoever. Now at 10 months, she is still sleeping great. If she wakes up, she usually soothes herself right back to sleep (I don't let her cry it out). We've been lucky to have no sleeping problems so far.<br /><br />Well, at least not with her. I'VE become a friggin' insomniac!!!!!

I have done Babywise ...Wow I could not agree more!! I have done Babywise stuff since the very beginning. I knew 4 moms who did it before I even got pregnant with Isis & their babies were so calm & slept so well & ate really well & I just knew that it was the plan I wanted to use. But then I had a baby & I've read a lot more stuff & I've ended up doing what you said - getting lots of information & piecing it together into what worked best for Isis & for me. But The Baby Whisperer was one thing that I didn't end up reading until about a month ago & I really wish I had read it before she was born! I think it would've helped me get through those first few weeks a little easier. I have never gone to the message boards, but I'm going to now! I'm excited to read about your other resources!!Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11905013570660801371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086626171561679956.post-6757879813409096422010-07-03T02:52:55.555+10:002010-07-03T02:52:55.555+10:00I agree with you on the fact that you have to do w...I agree with you on the fact that you have to do what works for your family. What works for one may not work for others. I haven't really used any online resources yet, I have just talked with other mom's I know and read a few books like the "no cry sleep solution" and some others. I will have to check out these links though they sound really cool.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727806569366896831noreply@blogger.com
