Mom to Mom
A friend of mine just posted on FB that she had finally gotten her 9 month old to sleep through the night. She said that one of the things she tried was giving him benedryl...that was PRESCRIBED by her DOCTOR!!! What the heck??? You aren't even supposed to give that to babies. I told her to find a new Dr!!!

I was always told a warm bath and a massage -
My doctor is awesome. He tries to always prescribe over the counter all natural remedies.
Like when allergy season hit he wrote me a note page full of nonmedicated syrups to try. The beat was lil remedies honey elixar. Nothing but honey water. My kids are 6&3 and they love the taste and it coats the throat nicely so no sore throat and no side effects.

When I was 16 i ended up keeping my moms friends baby. I would keep her 4-5 days and the grandmother would take her 2-3 days. I had Ger mostly on weekends and a day or two during the week. I can't tell you how many times I went to the "mothers" house and threw away bottles of.medicine she kept that poor baby doped up on.
I almost failed 10th grade trying to mother that baby.

Wow. Thats really sad. While it was rough until my sons STTN I would have never thought to give them something to make them sleep. I've always felt there is a reason that children wake during the night. I may never know the exact reasons but I know there has to be one.
