wow - i guess 'gentle parenting' is what i will be doing as well then. If bubs is hungry, will probably feed it, dont care what time it is, and if it is crying, i actually will probably give it a cuddle, or sooth it.
I didnt realise that this was going to be a topic of debate amongst people.
I know my sister tried the whole schedule thing, controlled crying, and i reckon she cried more then her baby did. Where as my sil feed and soothed according to baby needs, and she was always so calm, and had happy baby's.
I know which i prefer.
Thanks, everyone. I'm astounded that I got so many replies so quickly!
Kelly, I did join the ABA and have gone to a couple of meetings but unfortunately Sophia has been going through some health challenges lately (she's just been diagnosed with epilepsy) and it seems like everytime there's a meeting on we end up at the hospital instead. Thankfully we are getting things under control now so I should be able to go to more meetings. But I have to say, thanks for BellyBelly, it's been a great source of support for me.
Krysalyss, I'll be emailing you soon. Thanks for the offer.
