How can you let your baby cry?

Filed under: Baby Life — heather @ 4:33 am

April 1, 2007 – I can not get myself to let Macy just cry it out.  We are starting to have a few issues with putting Macy to bed at night.  She likes to be held and cries like crazy if we put her down too early.  How can you let your baby cry?  Is this just something I will get over?  Do you harden to the sound of your baby cries? Will I be a bad mom if we do let her cry herself to sleep?  Why is it okay to let them cry themselves to sleep?  I know I hate it when I do that.  I always wake up with a headache and sore eyes.  Maybe I am not tough enough yet?  UGGGHHHHH, parenting can be so hard on a person.  Why don’t babies come with instructions so that we can sleep better at night?  Instructions would stop a whole lot of my incessant worrying. 

Oh the bright side, Macy is holding her head up really well these days and doing great with her tummy time.  She is reaching for objects and smiling lots.  Here is a little laundry for you.

I posted some other new pictures of Macy too.  Hope you enjoy them.

  1. Hey….how come I never see “pelt” in any of Macy’s photos?!??!? Has he been banished?! Or is he laying on the floor in front of the fireplace?!

    : )

    Hang in there, T. It does get easier. Oh, for the record-I think Corinne was like 14 months old before I let her cry herself to sleep…..I don’t think hardening to their cries ever happens. But I’m just one mom. I’m sure #3 will be at least that old before he or she cries him/herself to sleep at night.

    Remember I’m just a phone call away!!!!!

  2. I can’t even imagine how difficult this part of your life must be, but my parents let me cry even when I was bleeding from any limb of my body — and I turned out ok, and I still love them — sort of.

    So I think you can rest assured that what your heart tells you is the right thing. Although I don’t imagine you can hear your heart much at 4am! Sweet dreams. love you.
