My experience with both of my kids is that it's exactly what they need, to learn how to get back to sleep by themselves... <br />Even after having 1 or 2 kids before; the same doubts and difficulties hit you with a new baby. <br />I'm sure you'll make it through; know that you're in my thoughts and prayers. <br /><br />And to Shep: "Go sleep tight, babyboy: you can do it! That's the way to get rid of the child-part and become a man"Jacolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428881151275684399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30218892.post-60296720377651669642009-06-11T14:10:22.472-04:002009-06-11T14:10:22.472-04:00Jacoline- I think Shep is not sleeping well out of...Jacoline- I think Shep is not sleeping well out of habit. He had bad colic for the first three months. I held him 24/7. And now he's just still in that mode at night. Can't soothe himself back to sleep at all if he stirs away. I don't feed him everytime when he wakes- I just go in and insert a paci and goes back to sleep. But the interrupted sleep is catching up with me and I'm just ready to have a semi-normal night pattern. <br /><br />I have heard of osteopaths. A friend of mine went to one for her back and was totally cured after years of pills, chiropractic, epidurals, etc. I didn't know they could help kids. My chiropractor adjusted Shep in the beginning, but I haven't been back. And frankly, I'm so tired of trying to find a "cure" for his sleeping. I think it might have to come to him fussying it out a bit. But I have to come to a place where I'm willing to do that.Jen Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09273467926507505310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30218892.post-16443508680606487662009-06-11T05:59:24.628-04:002009-06-11T05:59:24.628-04:00What's the thing with the manchild (I love thi...What's the thing with the manchild (I love this terminology of yours)? How come he doesn't sleep and just wants to eat? Is there someone you can get advice from? Here in Holland there are specially trained breastfeading ladies and child doctors who can advice on getting your child to sleep through the night (or at least better than your baby is doing...). I just feel sorry to hear about your sleepdeprived nights; shouldn't be necessary... <br />Here in Holland there are also specialists called "osteopathics", who gain excellent results on treating babies with sleep- and eatproblems. Sometimes there's a "hidden" damage from labour that causes such problems; osteopathics can find those damages. <br />I just hope you'll get back your nights soon!Jacolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428881151275684399noreply@blogger.com
