I just saw this post from an old work acquaintance of mine that her pedi told her to let her one month old CIO b/c she (the baby) would have issues. ![]()
And, yes, I did reply to it about children being unable to self soothe until 4 months old, reccommended Dr. Ferber's book for her and her pedi, and offered up hugs b/c I know how hard it is being a first time mommy and the overwhelming fear of setting up "bad habits".
I tried really hard not to come across pushy, but I had to say something. I can't stand the idea of a 1 month old crying it out.
Re: What horrible advice from my FB friend's pedi
Good for you! It doesn't sound like you were pushy at all.
And I'd like to throat punch that doctor.
but also, why is she posting that on facebook?!
weird.
I think she felt it was bad advice in her gut, but was too scared to trust her instinct. Just my guess as to why it was posted.
