[quote=Anonymous]Don't be a coward and pretend to comply. Be up front: "I honestly believe that X is too young to be awake for longer than a few hours at a stretch and that he needs to be held often. Everything I know about child development tells me that is what is right for this age group. I know that you would prefer that we do X, Y, and Z, but I am simply not comfortable with that. I am happy to work on sleep training and moving toward a schedule as fast as is healthy, but I don't believe we can force him to sleep through the night for at least the first X number of months. I am happy to do age-appropriate playtime, such as tummy time on my chest or lap. I hope we can find some middle ground here."[/quote]
