I used Blimi Schloss (blimi@sleeptrainmybaby.com), an expert in the field and extremely popular in Ramat Bet Shemesh and Jerusalem areas - she really worked wonders within a short space of time! Recommend!!!! I have had a wonderful success story sleep training my young one.

He talks about the myths. Screaming babies and wandering toddlers aren't good for intimacy either.

I don't understand why so many AMerican parents (can't vouch for others) don't see the connection between their not getting enough sleep and their insistence on the baby sleeping in another bed (I suppose it doesn't help that there are all kinds of ridiculous myths about co-sleeping) let alone another room. If you need more sleep, keep the kid in the bed with you, cuddle them, feed them when they're hungry. If it interferes with marital intimacy get a babysitter and go off and have some fun during the day. Baruch Hashem, someone who gives sensible advice.

When did 'just do what works' become lazy and softhearted, rather than the fine-tuned balancing of the needs of everyone involved? Why do I read these things, when they just irritate me? On the other hand, thank you, m.i.i, for the post. It saves me a rant. Off to go check on the baby, a.k.a 17 month old child who is sleeping in *our* bed thankyouverymuch. yeesh. aaargh!

With my first, the ped told me that he didn't need to nurse at night at four months old. When he had lost weight at six months, he didn't see any connection. Anyway, we grow as mothers by getting to know our children and trusting them more than we trust the so-called experts. Ahuva--I love fan mail! Let me know if you have specific questions about aliyah.

I have a 6 month old and an older child. It's great to hear of/or hopefully this type of parenting coming more into the religious lives. My impression from the observant in NY is that unfortunately most wouldn't share these views. Anyhow saw your aliyah posts too. I really needed something like that to look into. We are planning, yes!! for summer 2007!! I look forward to more reading here, this made my day!! hi there, I am so happy I found your blog. I have a 6 month old and an older child.

An "expert" told me I should use the cry-it-out method with my then 15-month-old. We did a safe version of the family bed, I nursed him on demand, but I was going insane from lack of sleep. So I tried it. After the second night, I couldn't do it anymore. It might work for some, but it wasn't right for MY family. Through trial and error and working WITH my baby to figure out what he needed by noting when he woke, if he really needed to nurse or not, and other details, I finally figured out that my frequent waking was waking HIM up. So we moved him to his own room and the night waking ceased. With my second, it was a different story, different needs, different solution. But I trusted my instincts and my bond with my baby to find that solution, and it was far less painful than crying it out. My biggest pet peeve is with experts who say there's only one right way to solve a problem (such as night waking), and every mom SHOULD do it. Advice, multiple solutions, things to consider are all fine, but no mom needs to be "should-ed" into a solution that's not right for her family.
