[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 281995, member: 3450"] Hi All, I was talking with difficult child 1, E, yesterday and as some of you know she is a single mom to a baby boy (he is 7 months old). She told me that he has started "screaming" when she puts him to bed and will scream for hours if she does not go get him. She said her pediatrician recommended putting him to bed and letting him scream--said he just wants attention. She says he gets all her attention, she doesn't understand it. My own opinion is that this baby will probably be a difficult child with the genes he has inherited from biodad and also having a difficult child for a mom. So I don't know if he is just starting early with the difficult child stuff or if this is also easy child baby stuff. I don't know what to recommend--all my babies were pretty good sleepers, I didn't have this problem. Also, after all this time it's hard to remember! Do any of you have advice as to how she should handle this? Or if you think you handled it wrong at the time and how you would do it differently? Thanks so much! Jane [/QUOTE]
