**Topic: crying it out
First time momma. My 3 month old son has become very needy, I suppose you could say. My fiancé was away for two months for work and my son and I were each other's rocks and comfort... I tried not to let him get too attached to me, but he is so young, and was all I had for awhile. Babies crave affection, that I get. But now that my fiancé is home, he always wants to be held. Dadda is for fun and laughter, momma is for fussy and naps and feeding. It's so funny how he craves each of us for something different.
Our son already sleeps through the night, since 8 weeks... Most nights anyways. It's not the sleeping through the night we have trouble with, it's the getting him to sleep part.
Sometimes he's so exhausted, he falls asleep, but most nights, he wants to be held, rocked, cuddled, then he'll fall asleep, deep sleep and the second we put him down, he's screaming. It's been very very hard. My fiancé and I have been letting him "cry it out" a bit. We've heard how many weeks they are is how many minutes they can cry, so for us- 13 minutes. I hate it. It kills both of us, and eventually we try to sooth him or pick him up. We've tried the bouncer, swing, vibrating pack and play, anything to get him a bit more independent with falling asleep. I think it's definitely a comfort thing, although they say not to- we put a very very thin pillow under his head/back and it seems to help. He wants to be on his belly or side but I'm not comfortable with that yet, while we're sleeping too. He has NO issues sleeping for naps. Wahhh, help!

when you are rocking him to sleep how do you hold him? I have found that by holding my daughter and rocking her to sleep in the same position that she will be in when i lay her down helps eliminate the shock factor and keeps her asleep. you may try that with him..
Hmmm I've never thought of that, I'll try that tonight :) @elizabethdake21
Yes, he could be completely passed out, move his hands to make sure, doesn't flinch and the second he doesn't feel us holding him anymore he wakes up. We could stand up, move him, walk around, as long as he's in our arms he's fine @s_ochoa1215
take one of your shirts that you've worn and lay it under his crib sheet.. he'll smell you and that might help 😊
So, just to make sure im understanding this right.. It is hard to get him to sleep and he also wakes up as you lay him down?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Hi
I am into my 15 week now
But since last two days am not having good feeling....I just feel something is wrong inside wid d kid...all my symptoms r too less
Morning sickness is gone....Metallic taste of my tounge is also less....and I feel pain in my abdoman twice or thrice which is very minor though
What should i do i am very confused
Already have gone through 5 scans because of changing gynec
Just feel that untill i hear the heartbeat or see my kid i wont b ok....got sleepless nights
My fiancé does that actually! And it seems to work sometimes. He rocks him on the pillow so when he puts him down, he doesn't really feel the difference. Thank you, I'll try rocking him the way I lay him down instead of against me! @s_ochoa1215
