Re: Several Things......

I don't know about the vaccination stuff or the cradle ca but what your doc

told you about sleeping sucks! He is there to give medical advice not to

tell you how to raise your son. Most of all he doesn't get paid to give his

personal opinions unless you ask for them. It isn't a sine to nurse your

baby to sleep and a nine certainly isn't going to teach himself how to sleep.

Why do we all have children? One of my reasonings for having children is so

I can have somenone to nurture and care for and someone to be dependent on

me. Why do some people think babies need to automatically be taught to be

independent? If we teach our children early on that they can depend on us to

be there for them, even as babies they will soon enough be self sufficient.

I dread the day my twins don't need me anymore. I love nursing them to sleep

and that they depend on me to take care of them. Spoiling a child doesn't

consist of nursing them to sleep. Or going to them and picking them up when

we need them. I think if you leave a child to cry itself out to sleep that

is spoinling them cause just like a gallon of milk your leaving it there to

become spoiled instead of putting it where it belongs, in the fridge!!

Babies belong at our breasts and in our arms when they need food or comfort.

Rene,

Did your doc just come out with this advice, or did you ask him for

advice/direction? Some docs have their *spiel* they go thru for each

well visit, but that doesn't mean you have to follow everything he

says. I always nursed my kids to sleep and never had a problem.

Routines are good, but they should be routines that you want and that

you are comfortable with.

As far as the vaccine, I never heard of it. I do vaccinate, I think Sam

had four shots at one of his visits, but it was dpt, polio, hep.B, and

hib I think.

Yes. It is like the adult pneumovax. It is safe. I would have been

outraged at 5 shots too.

Why is that so crazy? My ped said the same thing about both my kids and I

used/use it on both. It works great and as long as you use a small amount

and rinse well it doesn't hurt them.

I do not think a baby this young can learn to fall asleep on his own. I

don't think a schedule is bad, but not being rigorous is what the goal should

be. All children thrive on routine, not necessarily schedules. Doing the

same things around the same time is ok, but making a 9 week old baby go to

bed at a certain time because of possible spoiling, which I don't believe in,

is ridiculous.

Schedules are nice, but I do agree with everyone else that a 9 week old baby

should not be expected to follow a routine. My twins weren't on a routine

until they were about 6-7 months old. But I still nurse them when they want

to nurse even if it is just for comfort. I never restrict their nursing.

It sounds to me like this doctor will soon be telling you that the benefits

of breastfeeding end at 6 months. At least he seems to fit in to the

category of doctors that think that. Why don't you call around and see what

other peds. are available with your insurance ... perhaps you can find one

that is more in line with your personal beliefs.

Re: The vaccinations. Here in Canada they only give one or two shots at a time maximum, our's are combined.

Re: The parenting advice from the Dr. I learned with my second to ignore any advice given that was contrary to my opinion :-) I go to the Dr for medical advice, not parenting advice. If I didn't ask for advice, I ignore any given. I agree with you about the sleeping thing btw :-)

I agree here. I'm all for schedules, but not at 9 weeks. It's too early!
