I'm second guessing everything I just wrote.....
It's easy to second guess in the face of inconsolable crying.

I'm not sure we were particularly systematic about anything, and I know for sure we didn't do things the same way with each of our three children, but I do know that it's not unloving to let them cry sometimes and that love will tell you when it's gone on too long. Trust that.
Also trust that we all need sleep. That's a definite truth!
Oh my dear friend. You are in a good place even if it doesn't feel like it. Yes, common sense and doing what is in her best interest is a good place to be. I wanted to know the right way to parent when Beck was a baby and had no give in my 'genes' whatsoever. God is so much bigger than our mistakes. Even when Becky came home yesterday and told me she was thinking of telling us we had to pay for her therapy this year I could take it in stride. Love on that little baby as much as you can. You can't go wrong with that. That is about all I know about mothering to this point. I wish I had known it when I started. God bless you.
Tears, like laughter, are a part of life. I agress that you will know when it has gone on too long. Part of our job, as parents, is to prepare them for real life. You won't always be there to soothe and comfort so she needs to learn to do it on her own. She will be ok. And so will you.
