how did you know that Titus was teething? My little boy is 5 months (since yesterday) and has been a ¨sucker¨ since he was around for. He just eats his hands and sucks at my shoulder. How do you make a difference between teething and being hungry? any advice?

Meredith,
I also had a child who loved to nurse all night, and responded too quick to her cries. I read the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child and it completely changed the way she sleeps, even though she was already a year when I began implementing it. With our son, it was so much eaiser for me to let him soothe himself to sleep because I knew the rewards that would come. He gets better sleep because I am not “interrupting” him needlessly, and of course I get to sleep as well! However for it to work, I had to end the co-sleeping. Of course, everyone has different techniques that work for them, but I was tired of being tired!! What is amazing, is that as soon as stopped the instant nursing response, he also developed great napping habits. Even as a one year old now, I can count on his nap being at least two hours and him falling asleep happily without fussing when I put him in his bed, for nap OR nighttime sleep. It is a really good feeling to have a child who smiles peacefully and curls up in his crib when he’s ready to sleep! Such a difference from his sister at this age!!

Oh, how precious!! They are both so cute. Ty-ty… that’s cute. He really is adorable, Lindsay. And Karis looks like a proud big sis. Makes me smile.

He’s a cutie!!!! Thanks for the update!

I didn’t breastfeed… well I couldn’t. So, on the advice on my mother, I added a tsp of rice cereal to their bedtime bottle, around 2 weeks, and all my babies slept thru the night from then on. A full belly, will keep a baby asleep.

I know most (if not all) peds will tell you not too, but it worked for my mother’s children, and it worked for mine. And we are all healthy!
