i am the proud mother of 1 beautiful 18 month old baby girl named analiese.. she was formula fed, she cries it out.. i know when she needs something and when she doesnt.. she knows how to cry for a certain amount of time i know when she needs something besides just sleep and her fighting it.. she is very happy.. she is allergic to amoxicillan and has only had 2 ear infections in her life. she didnt have her first one until she was like 10 months old.. she has had hives because of being allergic to amoxicillan. this is my beautiful analiese :)
i am also the proud mother to 1 beautiful 6 month old breast fed baby.. i tried to bf analiese but due to issues between her and i and latching she was mainly ff then i dried up at 3 months.. i dont like bfing its just easiest with makenzie.. my makenzie when she is older and doesnt need fed soo much will also cio.. i know the different cries with my girls and i feel that crying will not hurt them.. no i dont let them cry for hours on end.. if 20 minutes later they are still screaming i will get them out of bed and hold them and try later.. i feel they both need to know how to get to sleep without mommy.. i am not ignoring either of my children or their needs.. if they are fed, changed and everything else they dont need anything..
this is my MaKenzie.. right now she doesnt cio because she still needs lots of breast milk.. i know this so i dont make her cio.. but yes once shes bigger she will also cio just like her sister.. when analiese started i would let her cry for 5 minutes then go give her love.. then wed go longer in between now she will cry for about 10 minutes and pass out. it works very well she knows she is loved and she is a very happy child.. makenzie is still eating every 1-2-3 hours at night so no i wont make her cio yet.. i do havta let her cry sometimes because i also have her sister to take care of.. i only have 2 hands and i have a toddler and a baby.. its hard to hear my kids cry but for my own sanity and theirs cio is our best method and doesnt hurt either of them. :) they are very happy well rounded children who love me even when i let them cry..so this is my life and my children. if you dont like the way i raise my children stuff it because they arent your children. :) they are happy and there is no reason they cant learn to cio.. as long as u know your babies cries and u can do cio then its totally good for you.. i dont judge the way anyone else raises their children why should people judge my way. :)

I'm with, Marisa is cio too, and she's as happy as can be. She is to the point where I can lay her down to sleep and she just rolls over and goes to sleep on her own. Hope that everything is going well, we are in Illinios trying to adjust. It's funny but, I kinda miss Virginia, I never thought I would say that. I think it's because everything was familiar and now it' not. Anyway hope your girls are going well and they are both so cute. Talk at ya later.
