[quote=Anonymous]I had a baby like this - she is 9 now and we got through it. She is not special needs but very sensitive and still to this day needs tons of hugs and emotional connections, it is just her nature. I don’t know what it is, it is just her personality and my other kid is not like this at all. We did not sleep through the night until she was FOUR. (Yes I did move to stay at home for this reason and it was exhausting) She would not “cry it out” - which worked with my first and which  everyone relentlesslyadvised. But I could tell she was truly frightened and would literally crap her pants when she was in a state of stress. I just listened to my gut and gave her hugs when she got super anxious and it went on and ok til she was four and then -boom- she learned to sleep. She still gets super anxious and sensitive now and then when trying to cope with stress and she  probably has anxiety but it gets easier as she matures and builds self confidence. People do not get it when I say I woke up 2-3 times a night for four years and   I can see how not everyone would handle it the way I did but it worked out for us. [/quote]
