[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone. We will start sleep training next week. I’m going to do Ferber big follow some methods of other books. [/quote]

Honestly I am crying thinking about this and I am a firm believer in sleep training. [/quote]

DP But OMG, get over yourself.[/quote]

Sorry but if the thought of a helpless EIGHT WEEK OLD crying alone for hours because his mother can't be bothered to hold him for a nap doesn't make you upset you are heartless. [/quote]

+1 Who actually does this to an 8 week old?  She even admits her pediatrician doesn’t recommend (a doctor that specializes in babies not her Md husband and friend). So selfish. If OP can’t handle a fussy infant the teen years are going to be killer. [/quote]

Yep this is terrible. Anyone who can leave an 8 week old alone to cry is a straight psychopath. I remember when mine was that age it physically hurt to listen to him cry. [/quote]

I did it. I am hardly a psychopath.

And guess what? My kids slept great after they were sleep trained.

Meanwhile, my friends kids were lousy sleepers who needed hours of rocking to get to bed each night.

Sorry.  You are a psychopath.  No pediatrician recommends sleep training an 8 week old for good reason.  I am not anti sleep training, but at 8 weeks it is cruel. I am sure your kids will be in therapy later.  FWIW I rocked and nursed my kids to sleep for 6-12 months depending on the kid.  I also maintained consistent routines--adhered to nap/ bed schedules and kept the environment sleep friendly.  Guess what!  They are all great sleepers.  Who knew that a gentle and kind method of sleep training could work.  [/quote]

Not everyone wants to be tied to a chair rocking and nursing a child for 6-12 months. They are old enough to self-soothe at that point. That usually leads to kids being spoiled. There is nothing wrong with sleep training. You probably were as a baby. [/quote]

I wasn’t tied to a chair rocking and nursing my kids. They actually fell asleep pretty quickly and are all older now and amazing sleepers. I am interested to hear the scientific evidence that nurturing your baby spoils them. My kids are all super giving and helpful because of our general value system and our focus on service. [/quote]

Good for you with your superior parenting and your superior kids. Not enough eye rolls for this.[/quote]
