A vent- with questions- need suggestions

[Crayola kiddies]

If thr child wants to be held all the time it's likely what happens at home... She cries they pick her up .... Babies are smart little people ... We just had a thread about this regarding letting a child cry it out or not ... I believe in letting them cry it out , I did it for my own children and I have had to do it with a few dcks as well ...I find if you go back in it just makes it worse and it seems to work better if you just leave them. As for the rest of the day I would just sit on the floor with the baby beside me and some toys and encourage her to play and as time goes on inch away . You can also play "here I am" by stepping out of sight for a second or two and then popping back in view saying here I am so the child knows you will come back .. You can also do that with a blanket sitting on the floor.... I'm sure the ladies on here will have lots of other suggestions ... But if you can get her to sleep that would be a good start.......oh I just remembered one little dcg I had here that wouldn't sleep here, mom sent her own pillow case to put in the playpen and that way baby could smell mom and it worked like a charm. Good luck
