I know there are a ton linked on this site but I wanted to see what are the #1 places that you would send a main stream momma to.
My dh does not keep a face book account so I am friends with all of his family on there so that we can have an easier time coordinating for family get together and keeping up to date on other extended family need to know type stuff. So tonight I notice that his cousin, whom I have only met once a couple of years ago, has posted two nights in a row about CIO. She is basically a very nice sweet lady, I just dont know her very well. What particularly caught my eye was how she was upset by it and concerned that it might be hurting her son, 11 months old, to be sleep training him and how she misses him in her bed. So I look and sure enough all her close family and friends are encouraging her to continue and telling her that it is hard but so worth it, you know the drill wash rinse repeat.
So I sent her a message telling her a very basic outline of why we are against CIO and that co-sleeping is a very legitimate and safe choice for family sleeping arrangements. Then I promised to send her some GREAT links on the subject if she wanted more information. Now as I wait to see what response I get I am starting to panic because I dont know which ones to send her if she is interested.
I dont want to overwhelm her with a million different links but there are sooo many good resources out there. If you could only pick 3 or 4 links what would they be?
