"The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life . . . "
-Proverbs 13:14a (NIV)
Parents are responsible for
the training and discipling of their children before the Lord. Please
read and use the teachings of others with much prayer and care. Do not
be the follower of any man's ministry, but of the Lord Himself. Seek
the Lord for anwers, pray and fast for your children, for their
challenges, and stay in the Word of God. Ask the Lord for wisdom when
it is lacking and trust in Him, who will give freely when asked.

Infant Care
Allow me to opine a moment: I
believe in meeting an infant's needs, and babies need constant
touching when they are very young. But, I do not believe in the "religion"
of secular attachment parenting where a child is never away from a
parent, even into the preschool years, all children sleep with mom and
dad, and so on. I have had babies need to sleep with me and babies who
needed more space. When my children are fearful, they are allowed to
sleep with me until they get over this stage. But each family is
different. Seek your husband's advice, and pray. I do use a sling with
my babies as long as they will allow it, even into the toddler years
because it meets my baby's need for touch and movement (stimulation
for brain development), and it makes my life much easier and a very happy
baby.
Seek the Lord as to how to meet YOUR child's needs. Do not harden
your heart to your infant's cries. The infant years are where children
learn to trust. They learn that someone will take care of them and
meet their needs. Only when a child begins to be able to exhibit some
form of self-control do we expect this self-control. Personally, when
my infants are around 6 months old and can understand language, I will
begin to tell them that they can wait a few minutes to eat (nursing
only at this age -- I introduce solid food when they can eat table
food). I have never used a schedule with a nursing infant. This won't
work. During their growth spurts, they will need to nurse more often
to increase your milk supply so there is enough for their growing
bodies. And babies will nurse for comfort. This is God's design.
Please prayerfully seek asnwers about infant care, from other mothers
whose children have the kind of behavior that you want your child to
have, who have breastfed their children at least one year, your child's
physician (be careful, though) and from other sources or online
articles. The La Leche League is an excellent source for the physical
and emotional aspects of nursing.
