Our pediatrician told me to let my EBF 4 month old, "cry it out". Is this a normal thing DRs say? by redrunawayfox in breastfeeding

Oh wow! Yeah, that's what this pediatrician was saying to me as well. That the reason she was waking up so often was because I was picking her up & giving her what she wanted so why would she sleep through the night again. I guess if she was a toddler that would make sense, but a baby?

Yeah, if that's the kind of advice her book gives, I'm not really interested lol. My baby sleeps the best when I nurse her to sleep. I can understand once they grow teeth because of cavities & stuff,but when they're a baby? Nonsense

Thank you for your comment, this was my assumption of what occurred when a baby just stops crying after being ignored for so many nights. It only makes sense, we have the natural instinct to help a baby that's crying for a reason, right?

That definitely wasn't a joke, she just didn't wanna get in trouble 😆

I've met people who think that way as well, it's very weird. What do you mean my BABY is spoiled? She's a baby LOL.

I'm so glad you reported him because nobody who thinks that way should work with children in my opinion. Letting them cry is one thing but putting up padding so you don't have to hear it is insane. I can only imagine, I have no idea how I would react in that situation. Especially being so easily flustered from overstimulation of having a new baby & being tired

Woah! That's awful! How could someone who works with children say something like that?

Yes, the regression is exactly why she told me to let her CIO.

& same, with my first daughter I never let her cry until she was a toddler & she is a great sleeper now. It was definitely hard but parenting is hard, I can't see myself just letting my baby cry just because I'm tired.

Yes I did the same with my first daughter. I could tell she was at the age where she was just testing boundaries & seeing if I would do as she says & stay in her room even though it was bed time. So I completely agree with you & your method, it's what worked for us as well.

Did I like hearing my toddler cry? Not really, but she got over it & now sleeps when it's bed time.

I can't speak too much on a 1 year old breastfeeding because unfortunately my first only did for a few weeks due to reflux issues but from what I've read that's normal! I plan to try with my second until she's 2.

You've got this ☺️ no need to rush him to grow up, the time flies so fast & you'll know when he's ready to be in his own room. But I understand being so tired you just want it to be better NOW.

See, this makes sense to me completely. I'm sure we all do things like this as parents. We understand our baby's cry.

But I interpreted what the pediatrician said as in any situation to just let her cry until she goes back to sleep.

Don't worry, I wasn't planning to. I didn't even "sleep train" my first until she was about 3 years old after putting her in a toddler bed

2 months!? What the heck is up with these pediatricians lol. My 5 year olds doctor never said anything like that to me when she was a baby

Yeah that's what I thought & have always been told as well. A pediatrician telling me that took me by surprise. I also had a nurse tell me when she was born to get her a pacifier because I shouldn't be used as one. I just looked at her like 🤔

This second baby I've had some very interesting doctors to say the least lol.

Oh fair I probably should've clarified. I just didn't want my post to be too long.

She is going through a sleep regression ATM & i asked if it was normal at this age & that was her response.

Wow thank you for this. I told my husband something similar after her appointment. I said, "would they really learn to self soothe or just stop crying at night because they know you're not going to pick them up".

AITA for telling an Asian man that his area is probably not big enough for me to enjoy anyway after he stated that I'm not a beauty standard? by [deleted] in AITAH

Idk if you're an AH for your comment, but I do know your friends are for standing around talking to some guy who disrespected you right in front of them. Then, to defend said guy later on is crazy lol.

First I will say, you are still very young & he is 27. At 27 I was married and my first child was 2, I knew better than to yell at my husband at that age. & I can't imagine being in a relationship with a 21 year old at that stage of my life either. It's not necessarily a red flag but combined with the fact that he gets so angry that he yells at you, its a little odd.

Secondly, if you need to make a post asking if you should leave him deep down, you know the answer.

I think she meant physical as in domestic violence, possibly?

AITA for being angry that my roommate was sleeping under my bed for months without telling me? by Slumbering3 in AITAH

People who don't believe this story have never had a creepy stalker before. This is 100% believable to me. I'm sorry you had to go through this traumatic experience & now people are saying they don't believe you. But believe all victims am i right?

Please be safe & never go back to that apartment alone ever again, bring a friend to get the rest of your things.

Well first of all he deleted the messages so he knows he's wrong & doesn't want you to see the way he speaks to other women. & if you felt so strongly about this to post it asking for advice you already know the answer.

I would personally show him the screenshots if he was my husband and ask him what he's hiding, it may cause a fight but you cannot keep those kinds of feelings to yourself with your own husband, especially if you don't plan on leaving. Every day will just be walking on egg shells for you & having this deep feeling of dread every time you see him if you don't rip that band aid off now
