I say, treat your child how you want to be treated, when I’m sick and coughing at night I would appreciate someone taking care of me and making me feel better. When our children are little they have a hard time regulating their body temperature, so when they are sick and or have a fever, laying on us makes them feel better.

I just want to say I love this approach and it sounds really similar to what we’ve done with our three kids (7, 5 and 2). It’s a controversial topic, but I think a combination of sleep training (different than complete cry it out) with using your nurturing instincts is the right balance. Your little girl is so cute! I hope she’s feeling better.

I had this happen at our house last night too – We did eat, play, sleep (Baby Wise) with Lena since she was born and it paid of wonderfully for us. If she ever wakes up hysterical in the middle of the night I know she’s not well. I then go in and see if I can rub her, etc or otherwise turn to the rocking chair. Last night she was hysterical and after 3 attempts at rocking it was a no-go. She cried every time I laid her back down (which I’m not sure she has ever done?). I gave her some Tylenol (vaccines), rocked and then laid her back down. She fussed off/on for about an hour but I too go by the ‘she’s laying down and not sitting/standing’ thought process. It’s so hard to listen to them and know they aren’t feeling their best… Just have to go with the mommy instinct!

I love that you are already teaching Shea to be independent – something I did with Hannah from a tiny age too – being a single mom then, I knew that I wouldn’t always be with her – and now nearly 24, my brother tells me that Hannah is the most independent person he knows 😀

In reply to Neonin. Aww :( So hard. I think the book may be helpful, but maybe more helpful would be something more age-appropriate. If you knew what type of sleep training you wanted to try, you could get a book specific to that methodology. Or maybe there are age-appropriate books? I'm not sure! The book I referenced does talk mostly about 3-12 months. Good luck!!

I would give anything for my daughter to sleep through! At 16.5 months we’ve never had a full nights sleep. Is the book you recommend worth giving a go?
