This weekend I spoke with a doctor who was recommended to me by another mom. He was supposed to call me on Monday so that Sean and I could have time to think of some questions to ask him, but he called yesterday instead. So, the only question I had on my mind was the sleep question. I told him our story and what our current pediatrician said. I was immediately sold with his reply. He said, "OH NOOOO, during the first year, a baby needs to learn trust". That is exactly what I think! He talked to me for about 20 minutes about our sleep issue. He recommended that I continue reading the No-Cry Sleep Solution and reassured me that he didn't let his babies cry and they did eventually sleep through the night. It does take longer than when a baby is left to cry, but it will happen. That made me feel better.
In the book, the author recommends that baby sleep with a "lovey" that smells like mom. So, I walked around all day yesterday with the little pink bunny in the picture tucked in my shirt.
