Mind blown.

I would be interested in this answer too…my inclination would be to do the least invasive thing first and then go from there if the fussing escalates, though I’m guilty of rushing in. This could be some gentle words of reassurance, followed by moving within arms reach, turning over, holding in a seated position and finally picking up. I too am struggling with feeling like I’m holding my five month old baby in a newborn way even though she has neck control and can sit up with assistance. Do I start with her sitting (if she wants) in my lap and then rise supporting her bum and back with my arms? I want to become more confident with this so my daughter senses my confidence – all 17 pounds of her!

Hello, I love the respectfully philosophy. That is how I behave naturally with my children. Now I have a six month old. What is the best way to teach her to sleep without cry? I feel very bad when if to let her cry. But I also need to sleep.

Thanks, Kimberly! 🙂

I’m sure you’re not doing anything wrong, but perhaps not understanding that babies learn language whenever we speak to them. They can’t learn words unless we use them.
