\r\n \r\n Personally I think babies should sleep with thier mother....
\n
\nand this study wont be worth much unless they prove that babies need to learn to cope with with this kind of stress when they are so young.
\n
\nAnd what is the NWO?
\n
\nWhat is the motive to convince mothers that babies should be separated when for literally for thousands of years babies always slept with thier mothers.
\n
\nJust another move to disentegrate family bonding.
\n
\nAnd what about the mother\'s stress in not being near the child. Increased levels of stress in the mom certainly could not be good either. With the child near her radar can rest.\r\n

\r\n \r\n My pediatrition suggested I have my daughter "Cry it out" which means put her in a room and let her cry herself to sleep. She tells all her patients that. It\'s disgusting! My sweet baby is sleeping with me and my husband and she if 4. It\'s awesome and she sleeps all night long, isn\'t afraid of the dark, doesn\'t have nightmares and is the best little cuddler.

\nParents today are disconnected with their children on so many levels.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Dear Mommysunshine,
\nI do not know that the pediatrition is correct but certainly after 40 years of marriage, I would not recommend sleeping with a baby or toddler. You may want to put in a small separate bed to help her adjust as she probably now thinks it is normal.
\n
\nBonding with a child is absolutely wonderful and I would many times during nap time, lay down and sing songs or read but then would do this in their beds not mine. You may need to do this in order to break this habit gradually and you may find your husband greatful too.\r\n

\r\n \r\n I felt I had a very close bond with both my parents. I was never allowed to sleep in their room with them. I am older, so this was \'back in the day\' where kids weren\'t coddled very much, and from what I can see with kids today, it probably was a good thing. I have great memories of taking naps with my Mother when I was very young, and that was very special. I don\'t have any children myself, so I\'m not an expert, but I don\'t think that sleeping with babies, especially in the bed of the parents, is healthy for their emotional/mental development. I agree that parents today are disconnected with their children on many levels, but I don\'t think it involves their sleeping arrangements.\r\n

\r\n \r\n I think such sleeping arrangements should be based on the nature of the child and parent and their relatonship. Each case is individual. The family bed is practiced in many more homes that we are likely aware of. How families inter-relate on such issues I feel should not be tampered with by "experts" who mostly have little understanding of human affairs and have ulterior motives unseen.

\nafter all it was the experts who told us not to breast feed, to feed them wheat and canned foods in the third month, to eat hydrogenated oils, to take drugs to vaccinate, to give our children constant Tv, to eat tons of sugar, to go to day care at an early age, to put mom in the work force, to send kids to after school programs, and on and on ad nausem.\r\n

\r\n \r\n What\'s the big deal about baths? It reads quite surreally.\r\n

\r\n \r\n I don\'t know what these experts are thinking... actually I don\'t think that they really think.

\nBaths can be stressful for babies initially. They can be scary. Most often this fear is due to a rapidly changing environment with temperature, light, noise, being separated from the mom, as well being naked and moms stress level as well, Mishandling the baby, moving too fast can create senastions of falling... and many babies present this pattern of behavior of being greatly startled when placed in the tub if not done right.
\n
\nThe first few baths are critical to avoiding bath stress.. lights low, water just the right temp. mom relaxed, baby not hungry at the same time.
\nThe LeBoyer bath is what should be done and shortly after birth if possible and with mom in the tub too if possible. My kids had it and it was great. Such an energetic change of peace and calm it brought to them. My mom gave it to them while i was in recovery room. One of my sons became a real water baby swimming under water at age 3 months in the hot springs in Hawaii.
\n
\nheres an explaination of the bath... which is done right after birth and the process can be repeated when baths are needed. The Leboyer method is much more than just the bath but the bath is the part that is done the most frequently
