sooooo....
after visiting us for 6 days, my MIL calls dh and says:
you must let her CIO
you have to put her in a crib
it is the only way you will ever sleep
kids only learn independence when forced to do it on their own
she's sensitive because you made her that way (namely me)
you better let me hold the next baby more than this one
it makes me hurt form the inside out even thinking about doing any of this her.
BTW dd is 2
so, she IS open to reading about the way we 'do things', interested in learning about 'the other side'. she is also a social worker who places adopted kids with parents and GIVES PARENTAL ADVICE!!!!!! i don't want to think about how many poor adopted kids were left to CIO when they REALLY needed some AP lovin.
i am definitely giving her continuum concept, i don't care if it makes her feel like a terrible mother for formula-feeding-CIO-crib-sleeping-absolutely-UNattachment-parenting!!!!
so what else? i need a good AP for beginners, one that really describes the reasons behind it and is easy to read and covers everything: breastfeeding, co-sleeping, parenting to sleep etc.
thank you very much.
