[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, I started out rocking my newborn constantly. When she was a couple days old, and she and I were both crying in the rocker, my mom said:  sometimes babies just need to fuss. She took the baby and swaddled her and laid her down and said just wait 5 minutes. At the end of 5 minutes she was clearly winding down, so I left her and she slept. After that, I just waited. We never had a huge CIO because when she was tiny, I taught her to sleep.

Babies cry. It isn't the end of the world. The mythical cultures you talk about never letting babies cry are backwards and undeveloped. I don't know that I'd look for parenting advice from someone who lives with a dirt floor and eats donated food---or from a culture that kills off girl babies in utero. [/quote]

You have to leave him alone.  Babies are smart the more you give him attention the more he wants it all the time.  He may be hungry but he may also be playing you.  You have to leave the room and it depends on how you are with him other than just at bedtime - if you are at his whim and not teaching him no means no - well he's gonna keep playing you 24/7.  And I'm not saying you are a bad mom or saying you shouldn't be nice to baby just that babies do learn even before age 1 what it is to have control.  You have to examine your behavior in total and see if it may be contributing to bedtime issues.  Good luck![/quote]
