re: Page 6 UPDATE: Baby is 5 months old.. waking up every time we put her down

Y’all have become pacifiers and it is not the way to raise an independent, self-reliant kid.

Do not be a slave to your kid where they can only fall asleep with you there.

Yeah. They will scream for a few days. A week. Whatever. Go in and pat their back after 10 minutes of screaming. Give them some reassurance.

You should, by now, be able to distinguish different cries if they are hungry, wet, hurting or just bitching and take appropriate action.

But do not become your kids pacifier.
