My good friend\'s 6 month old baby is still not sleeping through the night. She wants to try the cry-it out method but her mother-in-law has informed her that it would emotionally scar her son for life. My friend is now so freaked out, she refuses to let her baby cry now, even for a few minutes. Personally, I believe there is no right or wrong way and it\'s a personal choice for every parent but I feel so bad for my girlfriend. She is so tired and frustrated and I feel that she should have gone with gut instinct which at this point, was to try the cry-it-out method. Personally, I did the No-Cry-Sleep-Solution but I didn\'t do it with middle son until he was 9 months old. With my daughter, I did it much earlier at 5 months. It was what worked for us. Does anyone have any experience with this (good or bad) that I could pass along to my friend? Thanks!

Hi all,I'm new to this community and I don't know where else to turn. I'm hoping somebody can relate to what I'm experiencing. I was in an relationship with a man 8 years my senior (34). Our relationship went from 0 to 100 from the minute we met. We told each other we loved each other after 1 month, and talked about marriage 3 months in. Long story short, the abuse was subtle but constant. He...

As they got older it took awhile to get them to sleep and I got tired of being in the room for so long at night, before my bedtime, in the dark. Once I moved them to their own room it was enough for them to know I was up.....still is. My daughter was in our room until she was almost 5. We would have liked her out sooner but their were other circumstances. We moved her out of our room at the same time as the second child, my oldest son who was 2.
Fast forward to my third. He\'s in his crib next to my bed. He goes to sleep for his naps by himself and likes me to read while he goes to sleep at night. That has worked out real well for both of us. We will move him out of our room between 2-2 1/2 years. I learned a lot through my first two. :)
I do let them cry when it\'s for something they can\'t have or that has been taken away...just didn\'t have the heart to do it at nighttime.
I\'m not against it, the parent just needs to have the fortitude to go through with it.
There is also a heavy religious undertone to his books, which personally doesn't work for me as I prefer self-reliance to giving away my personal power.
