Question by Tom Cruise: Bible question. Do you wonder why nobody was willing to “help” Mizpah with her little problem?
“So Jephthah led his army against the Ammonites, and the LORD gave him victory. He thoroughly defeated the Ammonites from Aroer to an area near Minnith – twenty towns – and as far away as Abel-keramim. Thus Israel subdued the Ammonites. When Jephthah returned home to Mizpah, his daughter – his only child – ran out to meet him, playing on a tambourine and dancing for joy. When he saw her, he tore his clothes in anguish. “My daughter!” he cried out. “My heart is breaking! What a tragedy that you came out to greet me. For I have made a vow to the LORD and cannot take it back.” And she said, “Father, you have made a promise to the LORD. You must do to me what you have promised, for the LORD has given you a great victory over your enemies, the Ammonites. But first let me go up and roam in the hills and weep with my friends for two months, because I will die a virgin.” “You may go,” Jephthah said. And he let her go away for two months. She and her friends went into the hills and wept because she would never have children. When she returned home, her father kept his vow, and she died a virgin. So it has become a custom in Israel for young Israelite women to go away for four days each year to lament the fate of Jephthah’s daughter.” (Judges 11:29-40 NLT)
Wasn’t there anything a guy could do to make sure she didn’t die a virgin?

My son hasnt slept a night through for 11 months now and Ive made every mistake possible, letting him sleep with me, nursing him when he wakes up etc. I must have sleep he’s only sleeping 6 hours total a day including naps. I bought this book because I wont let him “cry it out” Have you had any luck with this or similar no cry methods?

I’m not familiar with the program, but my best experience with no cry solutions is to figure out WHAT is causing the problem and treat that, not the problem. It’s kind of like having a hernia (bad example, I know) and just treating the symptoms of it instead of the actual hernia. One is going to work so much better than the other. Figure out what is causing him not to sleep well and fix that.
Also, remember that no babies actually sleep straight through the night. They all wake up occasionally, some every hour, some only a couple of times a night. The ones that ’sleep through the night’ are able to keep themselves from waking all the way up and are able to put themselves back to sleep. They’ll just roll over, grab a stuffed toy, grab a sippy of water, or whatever they need and drift back to sleep. The ones that wake you up are the ones that haven’t learned how to stay asleep and fall back asleep, so they need your help.
Letting your baby sleep with you and nursing him when he wakes up are ways for you to help your baby learn how to be comforted and how to comfort himself. They are not mistakes, especially in your baby’s eyes. Try looking at it from his view instead of yours and see what you can do to fix it.

“Crying it out” method causes brain damage!?
Posted by: | CommentsQuestion by CR: “Crying it out” method causes brain damage!?
Is it true?
Well, my baby is 3 months old, and it seems as if she’s so afraid to go to sleep she’ll fight so hard to stay awake that no matter what I do, she’ll scream and cry and start sweating and coughing. I’ll rock her, walk around the house, change her diaper, nurse her, and after about and hour or two of nonstop crying then she’ll just suddenly stop—and fall asleep. Sometimes I wonder if it damages her. I fell so bad for her

Question by Endora: When christ was born did the wise men proclaim”Let us kill a tree and stick it in our living rooms?”
What on earth makes Christians think the tree has ANYTHING to do with their religion? That’s like saying a rabbit ran through galilee crying out “Jesus has arisen! Hide the eggs!” How DARE they keep posting nonsense on here about how athiests and “nonbelievers” don’t have the right to have a christmas tree and gifts, when they have no claim on those old pagan customs?

Teaching to self-soothe without “Crying it Out”?
Posted by: | CommentsQuestion by .: Teaching to self-soothe without “Crying it Out”?
My daughter is 11 months old. From 4 weeks on she was sucking her thumb and sleeping 7+ hours a night. Then at about 8 months when she got her top teeth she stopped sucking her thumb, which I thought was going to be a great thing. But now when she slightly wakes up in the middle of the night she can’t get herself back to sleep and will SCREAM until we come get her. We pick her up and pat her back for a couple of seconds and shes back asleep but when we go to lay her back down she will wake up. I feel like I have tired everything… Last night that rocking back to sleep and laying down lasted nearly 3 hours. About 2 hours into it I nursed her to make sure she wasn’t hungry and then it took another hour of rocking to sleep and laying down for her to actually stay asleep but then 2 hours later she was up crying and screaming again. So finally the only way I could get sleep was to take her in bed with me. What else can I do to help this situation besides letting her just cry. I don’t feel that letting her cry will be productive because we have tried this for a little bit and it just makes her cry even more… HELP! Any advice would be great.
Shera O- we have been co-sleeping for a little over 3 months and it seems as if it has gotten worse When is it “supposed” to get better (knowing that all infants are different)
Also I have read The No Cry Sleep Solution by Elizabeth Pantley and it hasn’t worked for us

Answer by Hannah’s mommy
Have you looked at the “No cry sleep solution” by Elizabeth Pantley? She is very baby friendly…pro-nursing and anti-CIO
http://www.pantley.com/elizabeth/books/0071381392.php
Also, how does she fall asleep? Is there a nightlight or music in her room as she is falling asleep? I found with my DD that if she went to sleep with music on, and then woke up in the middle of the night with no music, she freaked out. We ended up with a sound machine and night light in her room all night, that way is was consistent with how she fell asleep.

Question by devoted2denny: 12 month old still wakes 3 times a night – will she grow out of this without doing “sleep training”?
She wakes at least 3 times a night and I always get up and give her a bottle and rock her back to sleep because that’s the only thing that works for her.
I do not want to let her “cry it out” so I am hoping she will grow out of her night-waking on her own – any ideas or comments?
Did any other moms have success with just being patient and letting their baby/toddler learn to sleep thru the night without resorting to any kind of “sleep training”?
What age was your baby/toddler when they finally started to sleep thru the night? (And I mean really sleep thru – like at least 10 hours – not just the 5 hours that the baby books call “sleeping thru”!)
Thanks to everyone who answers!
P.S. I have talked to her doc about the bottles at night and he has told me it is not a risk for ear infections or tooth decay as long as the parent is giving the bottle and taking it out of the baby’s mouth when finished. Apparently it’s just when parents prop a bottle or hand the bottle to the baby in bed and the baby falls asleep with the bottle dripping in their mouth that it becomes a health risk.

what is your opinion on “crying it out”?
Posted by: | CommentsQuestion by ♥ baby d’s mama♥: what is your opinion on “crying it out”?
When did you start letting them cry it out if you knew that they were perfectly fine? What is the time rule-like how long do you let them cry before you go get them. My son likes to be held until he is in deep sleep, when i put him down he starts crying until i pick him up again. Any advice?
I have heard 2 different sides, and i dont know what to go by, some people say if you hold your baby too much he will be spoiled, and some say you cant spoil a baby under 9 months of age. I just think that if he is crying then i should be comforting him, although some times i just want him to learn that he needs to be self soothing sometimes….so what to do?!

how to cry (I’ve tried everything)?
Posted by: | CommentsQuestion by Mira: how to cry (I’ve tried everything)?
I’m going through a very weird time of my life. Lots of things are going on, I’m feeling confused, upset, etc. I really feel like “letting it all out” crying, but I can’t seem to do it.
I think that if I can get a couple of tears out (even fake), then I’ll start crying, because I’m just blocked and the tearful emotions are already there.
How can I do it? I’ve already tried most methods: not blinking for a long time (3 or 4 minutes, only hurt a lot), menthol under my eyes (very fresh eyes but that’s it), plucking my nose hair (again, just hurt), blinking very fast, yawning, onion, thinking about random sad things, listening to music, watching a video, pretending to cry (sobbing etc), nothing seems to work. I’m feeling really stuffed with feelings…
Thanks!
Mira
Shaneequa, by “nose hair” I meant the advice you hear sometimes about pinching somewhere where it really hurts to get tears in your eyes. The nose is a very sensitive part of your body. && I know this is a weird question. No need to tell me

Answer by Jacob S
You can’t cry unless you actually feel sad…? It wouldn’t be hard at all if it *really* upset you. That is weird, though.
