FRUSTATION!

Oh my god! I’m so frustrated I put my son down for bed and every single night he wants to be rocked to bed. Well tonight I tried lieing him down and not rocking him and allowing him to cry and I was going to go in his room in abour 15 min. and put his binky back in his mouth and leave. Well there is a down fall I live wtih my parents and they keep coming in his room and picking him up and telling me that they will put him to bed but thats not letting him learn to go to bed on his own. He is four months old what should I do?

Answer #1

well he is still young so you have plenty of tym but parents are like that b thankful they are helping you because you have sum that just don’t care but try telling them how you feel

Answer #2

maybe slowly try and wean him into his cot..bringing his cot into your room might be a good start so he knows you’re there, How old is he??

Answer #3

tell your parents thanks for the advice but I’m going to raise my kid the way I want to

Answer #4

Just explain to your parents what your trying to accomplish. I know it’s so hard, especially living at home, I still have issues with my mom going against my word when it comes to my daughter, and I live in my own house! lol Just try sitting them down and talking to them about the new rules your trying to get him to fall asleep on his own. Hopefully they will be understanding and see where you’re coming from. If they have a night where they want to pick him up, just remind them that he needs to learn how to fall asleep on his own, and if they keep picking him up it’s just setting you back a few days from him learning!

Good Luck, and have patience with them…they’re the grandparents, so they will always want to make him happy, even if it means going against you!
