We just can’t do it. It is not in us to let Max cry. I have been sick worrying about the whole crying it out. I swear I was more worried about doing it than having another baby and nobody sleeping. I was fortunate to talk to a friend, who we met on a vacation in Naples, Florida and she and I are so similar with health and parenting. She and I spoke for a while about Max and his sleeping. She too has a little boy about 26 months and a newborn about 1 month old…so it will be the same for me when the new babu is born. Anyway, she and I talked about how Max will learn eventually.
I know I sounded so sure of myself last week but I was not and I was feeling desperate. Scott and I discussed a plan for when max wakes in the night and breaking him of that habit. But if it does happen and continues, well we will just have to deal with it. I feel good sticking to my gut about our family. I never thought I would be a Mom who has a family bed but it works for us and it works for Max. Of course, I need some more room and my kid hogs the bed but things could be worse. I am convinced that he will eventually sleep and eventually leave our bed but for now- we are staying true to our feelings and that is the best parenting I know of.
