This blog is about God’s faithfulness and my frailty. I write about my personal faith in Jesus, family life with ADHD and autism, grace-infused parenting, mental health and my heart transplant journey. Learn along with me how to treat ourselves gently and extend that same grace to others – especially our husbands and children.
We firmly believe as a crux of our parenting that by meeting our children's needs during infancy that we will raise secure children and later adults.
We do this by feeding on demand and co-sleeping, lots of touch, lots of interaction. As we look back on our three post infant kids, they all settled in a natural routine. Even our littlest one at 3 m0nths, begins to set a natural routine for himself.
Of course some direction is needed simply because of logistics of being a member of a large family.
while I know your article was more on infant sleep, I have never understood scheduled feedings. I eat when I'm hungry, it is usually around the same time during the day but not exactly. I'm 33 years old and I don't follow a strict feeding scheduled and therefore could never implement it in small infant.
I welcome your comments and will publish and reply to them as soon as I am able in the midst of a busy mom schedule! Abusive, trolling or spam comments will not be published.
