re: OT Parents: Best Advice/Things You Wish You Had Known

Definitely don't agree. But I do realize every kid is different so not saying you are "wrong". It took one rough week (more like 4 days) to get my son to sleep on his own. First few nights took hours of letting him whine, then going hold him, then repeat. But after that, I could put him in his crib wide awake, let him roll on his side, and he'll put himself to sleep (he's 1.5 now). My mom thinks it's insane how easy he goes to bed. Whereas my sister has a 2 year old that has to fall asleep with them every night in bed, then they move him to the crib. Only way he sleeps because they never forced it. My good friend has a 4 year old that still sleeps in the bed with them, because she refuses to sleep on her own. It can easily cause problems. But I admit we may have lucked out having it easy, and this way may not work for everyone.
