[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just see if you can put the pack n play (or similar) in the bathroom. Or take a quick one during a nap while you check the video monitor every minute or so (though I found my kid was almost always out cold for the first 20 mins of her nap).

I don't see a conflict between "AP" and helping your child to play independently.  I am/do both. I also don't see leaving a child to cry alone for 15 minutes (not a short time for an infant) as a first or even second choice. Last resort, gotta do it? Yes, they won't actually die of it. But I get the feeling some PPs here are just so rigid, it's like there's one option and if it means the child cries for 15 minutes, oh well! Creativity? Outside the box thinking? Nah. Might as well get used to crying alone as soon as possible. Blah.[/quote]

Your kid will be crying alone when they realize mom won't change their pull ups in college.[/quote]

Nah (I am PP you quoted). My kid is already potty trained and playing independently for up to 30 minutes at 18 months old, and I was one of the ones who had her in a sling as a newborn while I peed-- the horror! She's obviously never going to become independent, since I never let her cry if I could help it (and there was anything I could do about it). Oh, wait...[/quote]

I am so thankful I don't have friends like this. Please try to be less smug and more understanding of the fact that others parent in different ways. Your daughter will benefit from seeing the kindness and patience you demonstrate when other mothers ask innocent questions. Jeez. (Not OP). [/quote]
