Michelle, I think that changes a lot of things, I too would want to take it a bit slower with my child if my child had been in the hospital for a long time. Sorry about my post to you, I started writing, and then I got distracted and lost my train of thought, but my suggestions were going to be about the same as the other lady's. oh well! I hope you get it figured out! Best of luck!

Hi Stephanie i havent let him cry because it goes against my instincts.
it has always felt right to nurse him to sleep and coslee. i also i think because he was premature and in the ICN for 9 nights it is really hard for me to see him upset.
