[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 282012, member: 1233"] I would advise her to follow her instincts. Even if they go against the "scream it out" method the doctor recommends. With Jessie I was working fulltime plus some, and so when she started screaming I just pulled her in to bed with us. Not so much for either boy, they didn't seem to want that. Is there any chance he is having stomach problems? With Jessie if we put her down in a crib or bassinet to sleep she got gastric reflux and it hurt. For a long time we had her sleeping in the car seat (we had one that popped into the swing so she was up off the floor) until she outgrew it. If the baby is on formula she might have better luck with a soy based formula. I thought it was an old wives tale about soy formula being easier on a baby's tummy. I was WRONG. It made a HUGE change. With thank you we even took it one step further with the doctor's approval. I bought bags of catnip tea at the health food store. I would brew a cup and steep it for 3 to 5 minutes. Then I used 2-3 ounces of the tea for part of the liquid I mixed the formula with. Oh. My. Stars!!! The FIRST night we did this thank you slept for 5 hours straight through. And he was 7 or 8 months old!!! By the end of the week he was sleeping 8 hours a night. We did NOT use catnip from the pet food aisle. I was actually able to find catnip tea in bags like regular tea. It wasn't even tough to find. I hope things settle down soon. [/QUOTE]
