I lacked it in my first year as a teacher and my students and I all suffered from it. When I discovered I was pregnant I knew I wanted structure for my child from the start. I always had a basic routine when I nannied, it kept me sane and the kids happy, so of course I did the same with my own son. <br /><br />You would probably like the book Nanny Wisdom, it also advocated flexible routines and structure to a child's day.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01609481957296510873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167413790631698454.post-19578432409592186402009-06-19T10:32:07.411-07:002009-06-19T10:32:07.411-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Seph, Trish, and Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552297396414387053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167413790631698454.post-62352560511873888562009-06-18T18:49:44.146-07:002009-06-18T18:49:44.146-07:00I catered to every need with Brooke too!

I haven't had one Mommy meltdown yet!! I have the 10 minute rule too! Exactly--i set the timer for 10 min and if he's still crying I know something is wrong. He hardly ever makes it past the 4 min mark! I would have never done cry it out with Brooke! I was too much of a wimp!!Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09229805726094029788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167413790631698454.post-1855767707382169502009-06-18T16:37:49.699-07:002009-06-18T16:37:49.699-07:00I catered to every single sigh that came from Jill...I catered to every single sigh that came from Jillian (because, as I read -- this is what you're supposed to do AND what I wanted to do) for the first three months and then transitioned into a more structured routine. My way worked too -- she naps on schedule, has a routine bedtime and sleeps through the night. I think all parents will find the happy medium. I agree in letting the baby "cry it out" but we don't let Jillian go for more than 10 minutes. That usually means something is wrong and we're always right -- still hungry, wet diaper, etc.<br /><br />The more I am reading your blog I am beginning to find that we agree on some things but disagree on others. Wow, parenting sure is a personal, sensitive and touchy subject and all moms have something to say about it, too. ;-)Heidi Uptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077477174384899857noreply@blogger.com
