Raising our kids is so important to us that we are all very passionate about how it is done. It can be painful when people don't agree. It seems like they think we are bad mothers, and that hurts beyond anything lots of us have experienced. All I'm asking is that you read comments like this in that light. Listen and learn from other moms. We aren't trying to knock you (okay, SOME people are, but they are immature), we're just passionate and want to share what worked for us! You are not a bad mom if you don't agree, but you may not be a wise one if you aren't actively looking for ways to improve.<br />My mom had a dozen kids and never did sleep training, and we turned out okay. I choose to sleep train, and I love it.

That's one of my main points! :) They will sleep up to nearly 20 hours a day at first if you allow them, and that's really good for their development.<br /><br />You need to understand how your baby's body actually works. When you feed it closer than three to four hours apart, they will most likely have colic because breastmilk takes three complete hours to digest. (Not sure how long formula takes, but you can still follow the same schedule). When you feed them too often you are putting new milk on top of undigested milk from the previous feeding. This negates some of the nutrition. The baby who eats every three to four hours will be able to sleep through the night without hunger because they have received more nutrition throughout the day than the baby eating every one to two hours. Just because a baby cries in the night does not mean it is hungry...like you said, it's the only way they can communicate!<br /><br />Sleep training will deprive your baby of much less sleep than feeding them throughout the night, because it takes such a short time to accomplish them sleeping through. (All babies are obviously different, but they generally follow the same patterns).<br />When parents choose to do this, it is truly what they feel is best for their baby. We do not go into it thinking only about ourselves, as you seem to imply. <br /><br />I hope the Dillards do this to raise exposure and show moms everywhere that happy babies and sanity is possible in the first few months!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-54312280778128735912014-09-24T18:10:38.187-05:002014-09-24T18:10:38.187-05:00Sleep deprivation is unhealthy for anyone.

Even the proponents of "crying it out" will tell you NOT to do it before 4 months of age. Suggesting to "wait till your milk comes in"also shows a lack of understanding of breastfeeding. Milk supply is a result of the demand of the baby. At that young age, it is abhorrent to suggest a baby can go that long without eating. The stomach of a newborn can only hold a couple ounces at most, and breast milk especially is designed to be digested easily and quickly, leading to a baby being hungry quicker. Quite frankly, expecting and then "training" a baby to sleep that long is selfish. It goes completely against the natural biology of babies, not to mention the increase of the stress hormones, cortisol, in the brain, due to long periods of crying. The short amount of time a baby needs you at night, is honestly a time you need to suck it up, and do what is best for the baby, not you. Yes, you are tired, but that comes with being a parent. I have three boys, all of which sleep great now, and never had to lie in a dark room alone, crying, and wondering where I was. A baby does not get trained to sleep, it becomes trained to no longer expect you to comfort it when you are needed, which is heartbreaking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-26534641277327472662014-09-23T10:00:54.047-05:002014-09-23T10:00:54.047-05:00are you crazy babies don't store calories this...are you crazy babies don't store calories this young they're not supposed to sleep through the night until 3 months of age, they need to eat throughout the night, for at least the first 3 months<br />Stevens Family Farmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407528127897565360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-80663749926369445612014-09-23T09:37:01.605-05:002014-09-23T09:37:01.605-05:00I think they should do sleep training.

Babies are supposed to wake at night to feed (especially at 2 weeks!. When babies go too deep into sleep, it raises the risk of SIDS. Babies can become too lethargic if they aren't eating ever few hours. You are not training your baby to sleep, but rather, to give up on caregivers meeting their needs.

With my younger two I breastfed and they slept in a crib by my bed. When they woke at night my husband would change the diaper and pass the baby to me to nurse. A lot of times we fell asleep snuggled up together. It was a beautiful experience. My oldest who was sleep trained was a horrible sleeper while the younger two slept thru the night between 6 & 10 weeks and were delightful to put to bed each night. Just my opinion of course.
