[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS hit 9 months this weekend and it was as if everything came together for him and he finally got moving! We put him to bed and he started crawling around his crib, screaming about 3 hours later. He normally STTN ever since crying it out a few months ago, but had been sick a few days before, so we thought it was that 9 month regression. We dutifully applied cry it out.

But my mother was staying the night and decided she needed to intervene. Just after we decided to let me go a little while after more rocking, she came up the stairs (we heard her from our upstairs bedroom, she as staying downstairs). She was just going to go in there and do what she pleased. We had a loud whisper argument about how she could not go in there. She finally went back downstairs and passive-aggressively emailed me articles about how cry it out was terrible and was shouting up at us that we should go in to soothe him again.

Now she's back at her home but just keeps emailing me these crap articles that I read months ago before we decided to do cry it out and learned that those articles were based on poor studies. I know its not for everyone, but it irks me that in my own home I have to put up with this!!

Of course, last night DS cried for about 15 minutes, but slept through the night, until 0430, which is almost normal.

I'm more annoyed that my mother was just going to go in there, as if we were not doing anything. :-/ Venting over.[/quote]

I swear, the internet and iphone are the worst things in the world for grandparents, especially with the constant articles. My parents do this too, always when they disagree with something. My mother calls it "research."

OP, try to ignore her as much as possible. She probably can't help herself and wants to be her grandchild's hero. You're the one who has the live with your crying baby-- she doesn't. [/quote]
