How old was your baby before they slept through the night?

I have a 5 month old baby boy. My husband says that he is spoiled. I work part time. While I am at work, my husband says that sometimes he won't eat his cereal or drink his milk while I am gone. What do I do about him eating while I am gone? Second, can you spoil your child at such a young age. I've always felt that your baby cries because they want/need something. Even if it is just being nearer to you. Am I being naive? Someone please give me some information on this.

Hello. I was wondering if anyone knew the name and address of any good black pediatricians. They could be from anywhere. I'm trying to compile a list, and I need some help getting started. If you have a name, you can email me at tmpringl@hotmail.com.

This is in response to Tisha: Tisha, I am responding to you for my 56-year old mother who emphatically states,"FIND YOU A BABYSITTER!". What your husband is describing is irritation at having to respond to an innocent's needs. Your baby is not spoiled; he is just needing more attention than either your husband is willing or emotionally capable of giving. You are potentially exposing yourself and your son to a volatile situation as you don't know if your husband may react extremely negatively or possibly dangerously because he is becoming increasingly frustrated in dealing with an infant. I would strongly recommend that you and he enter into Christian parenting classes (or any parenting class) so that he can be educated about babies. Sincerely and with all my love,

Andrea

i agree. that is a baby and babies cry because this is their only way of communicating.
sometimes in our community, it is believed that we should let the child "cry it out".
this can have negative even fatal effects

i was even told by people that my 7 wk old son is a "lap baby".
whatever!
maybe your baby senses your husbands attitude and the tension when you are gone. especially if your husband is not catering to the babies every need like he needs to
it sounds to me like maybe your husband is basing his view of the baby by how he was raised. but this is a problem with our children today.
studies have shown that you can only wreap great benefits by providing your child with a sense of security.

HI! My name is Nicole. I'm 23 and married to Brandon, 25. We have two beautiful kids. Bradley, 2 on Mother's Day, and Ava, 5.5 months. Ava is exclusively breastfed. I have yet to start her on baby food. I'm having a hard time accepting that she will be getting food from a source other than me! LOL! I am sort of a SAHM. I work from home making baby & toddler hair clips. Check out my store if you'd like.
