* Mods - This might fit better in Nighttime Parenting, I wasn't sure, please move if necessary!*<br><br>
I'm halfway through this book, and so far I think it's wonderful. Lots of great ideas, and great ways to see the world through a young child's eyes.<br><br>
However, the section on sleep really took me by surprise. <i>Is teaching my child to sleep part of discipline</i>? I thought this was a developmental thing, that she would do when she was ready. For example, I wouldn't discipline her if she walked later than other babies, I guess I was approaching sleep the same way.<br><br>
DD is 11 months, and still needs to be rocked to sleep and wakes frequently (every 2 -3 hours). Have I failed to 'discipline' her at night? Are her nighttime demands inappropriate for her age?<br><br>
If you've read this book, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
