Today I was cleaning out baby stuff and getting stuff ready to give away, and I came across a bag with remnants from my first baby shower, 4 years ago. Guess what I found in there??
A copy of the Pearls' "To Train Up A Child" :Puke just reading the back of it is making me shake. The fact that it is IN my HOUSE is making me feel sick. What do I even do with it- I don't even want to throw it in the trash for fear a trash collector or someone working at the landfill might see it and read it! I think I will have to put it in the fireplace and burn it. I remember recieving it as a gift but never had the time to read it before I had the baby.
And, in this little book where everyone wrote little bits of wisdom for raising a baby, the same woman who gave me the Pearls book, wrote this whole long thing saying that the best thing we can do for our children is to train them to sleep on their own, and if they've eaten within a 'reasonable' amount of time to lay them down and just pray. And she highly recommended Babywise.
And, another woman who had a 1 month old baby at the time of my shower, also wrote that she highly recommended babywise and said it was a wonderful resource for nursing families, and I should start reading it now so I'm ready to do the plan when the baby comes. I can only hope that she saw the light soon after that and did not continue to follow the plan!
