I have eliminated everything from my diet I can think of...and still he screams. I am so tired, D., and just cried and cried to S that I am bad and selfish for wanting to put him on soy formula. I'm just tired of hearing him scream and seeing him in pain. Then I go online and read that I am bad and selfish for feeding my baby poison. "Why the judgement?" and "Since when do you care what other people think?" my husband says. I don't know. I just want him to be happy. Screw J&J and screw the breastfeeding nazis. Now, if I could only convince myself of that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24605535.post-10119172930468372692007-04-14T07:11:00.000-06:002007-04-14T07:11:00.000-06:00Getting too much sleep? They're completely crazy....Getting too much sleep? They're completely crazy. Babies can't get 'too much sleep'. <BR/><BR/>I do think an early bedtime is better for them, and you can work towards that by progressively starting his bedtime routine a little earlier each night. If he doesn't have a strict bedtime routine, it would be good to start one (bath/dress/nurse/cuddle whatever) which will make it easier when he is older. <BR/><BR/>Chloe had (has) alot of sleep issues and many people mentioned Weissbluth's book to me. This is mostly a sleep-training/ cry-it-out book but he does have alot of insight on how much sleep babies need etc. He says it works better when they go to bed earlier, like 8 pm (LOL!) but we did try this with Chloe and it helped. Online, if you read Ask Moxie on sleep, she gives alot of good advice... <BR/><BR/>No advice on the motherhood/guilt thing, only that i know where you are coming from (((((hugs)))))katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536809590856333391noreply@blogger.com
