First of all, I'd like to thank those that responded to my last post via Facebook. It was really interesting to think about some of the things that were brought up such as parenting styles and sleep training. In no way at all am I judging anyone on the way they choose to parent their babies and children. I think everyone has their own styles for their own children. Us included. It may not be the easiest way, but everyday is a learning day. Sleep training for us is necessary. I want our babies to be able to self settle. I don't advocate any special methods, but we have had some help from different bits of literature. For us, I let baby cry but I also will go in check on him and reassure him that we are there. We're on day 3 and it's going well...less and less everyday.
Now, we have reason to celebrate! NO more dummies for S!!! Yesterday, it disappeared and we still haven't found it. She seemed to accept that it's gone and we can't find it. She also knows that A's soothers are his and not for her bedtime. We aren't really giving it to A for the nighttime bedtime, but if he wakes too early, I will offer it to him.
We've also decided to mix a bit of spoon-feeding with the baby-led weaning style and it seems to be working as he's eating a bit more. Thanks for reading everyone!
