poor baby, I feel so sorry for the baby... carry her around if she needs it!! think of what a monkey mom would do! keeping our babies away from our bodies is not natural -- it is something that came up during industrialization - 1850s onward, the discipline in factories gradually took over in the private sphere of families - keep your kids in their own beds, if they don't want to, just let them cry. This is a big mistake. We did what our parents said with the first baby and it had to cry for a couple of weeks .. then, we did what our heart and feeling said and we sleep in bed with our kids now - they let us know when it is too much closeness for them! When we take an afternoon nap I have the 3 weeks old on my right and the 2,5 year old on my left. Wonderful. During the night, the baby is next to me and the 2,5 year old next to dad. If dad goes to work early, I switch beds when he leaves. If dad is away, the night is like nap time: both with me. So easy, so rewarding the fun we have the rest of day.
