You keep showing up, and you care – that is all that matters in life.

Sending love to you and to all hard-working, passionate, well-meaning mothers.

Elsa, I agree with you. I think Ali is a wonderful mother, and she did ask the question. And many comments stated that that is a very long time for a 6 month old, who is way too young to be ‘manipulative’ or should have to be ‘trained’ to sleep, and may simply want Mommy’s comfort. (Which at six months old, she should still get). I am a Grandma and have no problem whatsoever with new fangled ideas, but sometimes the old fashioned way is best. It is right that she should hear all sides; and as we all know, all babies are different. Ali will figure out what works for her and her infant. By the way, all 3 of mine have no trouble sleeping and no one was ‘sleep trained’. (Someone mentioned that without this ‘training”, kids grow into adults who can’t sleep.). Ali, keep up the great work with your little one! She is adorable.

Letting your baby cry it out is rude and yes everybody who does it should feel guilty…as already mentioned before: before reading all those comments I had never heard about sleep training…really really strange 🙂 poor babys

Bye
