Name-poll poll Any advice on how to `sleep train` a 13 month old?I have to go back to work in 6 weeks and my son is about %75 breastfed (the rest of his his intake is entirely self-fed, he doesn`t take a spoon). He co-sleeps and we practice attachment style parenting. I will be working evenings so my husband will be putting him to bed (as well as our four year old). Thanks.

We switched Daisy to her own room and it was hard. I would start getting a bed time routine down now, before you go back to work. Have both you and daddy do the bed time routine, then just daddy, so your LO gets used to the idea of you not being there sometimes. We did the bath,story, bottle, now it is time for bed routine. It takes a little time and they are stubborn little kids.

my dd slept with me for 12 months she is now 13 months and sleeps so much better in her bed. I wish I had not waited so long! She fussed for about 15 min. the first night, less the next 2 now she leans into it rolls over and sleeps great. I was tired she was up out of habbit taking bottles through out the night and I was scared I would have my baby in Nov. and be up with both of them. She wil sleep 11-13 hours a night. Naps are great also. Good luck on it, it may not be easy but in my opinion and for us it was for the best and she needed it!

Patients is all I can say plus when u start you CAN NOT STOP as if they know if they cry enough ull pick them up theyll do it everytime. I didnt believe it the attachment method as I knew it would be harder when it came to this stage so she has slept in her bed since a few months old but she would fall asleep in our bed first, we`ve just did the fall asleep in ur own bed which took a good week or so and shes used to sleeping on her own, so expect it to take longer than that if hes never slept on his own and plenty of tears.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
