Pregnancy & Parenting - 15 July 2006

When my second daughter had colic I was told to just let her cry herself to exhaustion. I couldn't do that so I did research a found some useful tools in calming her. And now that my daughter is 8 months old she wakes up in the middle of the night crying, I tend to her. I was told to let her cry herself to sleep. But she'll cry for hours before that happens. I can't bring myself to just let my daughter cry herself into a frenzy. So, what do you think? Have you let your baby/child cry it out? Do you believe the doctors are correct in telling parents to do this?

Everybody has their lessons that, when given to others, are beneficial. Don't keep that wisdom to yourself!

Were you spanked as a child and now you spank your kids? Do you find it a useful tool in disipline?
My answer- is not if I don't have to. I have only spanked my daughter a few times and that was because she has a bad habbit of running off in the middle of the parking lot or taking off in the middle of the store. One time she ran so far away from me when I was 7 months pregnant that I had to have other customers help me find her. I think spanking can only be used in extreme circumstances not for every day misbehaviors. Time out is effective. Honest answers please.

a lot of parents spank their children but lets face it, spanking is just another name for hitting. but for some reason spanking is considered ok while hitting isn't. both are a way of diciplining a child and both cause pain. Are parent who spank just abusive parents with a different lable?

They are hilarious. It's like, you're stuck watching Blues Clues and Oobi, and then this little skit comes on advertising for Noggin where the adults that work for Noggin are singing the Franklin song, or something else. It's so funny.

I had my third ultrasound performed because the dr. said I was not measuring far enough for how far along I am. I am 29 weeks and 5 days pregnant. He said it may be because I am not gaining enough weight. I have gained 18 lbs overall. He said I should stay off my feet and rest a little more.I also need to take in 300 more calories then what I have been. My daughter weighs 2 lbs 9 oz. Is this something I should worry about or is it normal?
