Unfortunately, my bouncing boy was anything BUT a text-book-baby. I grew so frustrated that he was not following the plans I had fully intended for him to stick to. At one point, because of my hysterics over being a <i>total</i> failure, Mal's dad actually threw the book in the trash and it never resurfaced. Why didn't it work? I have my theories: 1. Our marriage was smack dab on the rocks and I think Mal could sense that. 2. Mal was a high need baby and so his tolerance for any sort of stimulation was nil. 3. I was being too rigid and had not allowed for my son to have his own personality (that followed mine. I do NOT to well with routine ruts). Anyway, I've often though about whether or not I'll attempt Baby Wise with baby #2. I don't know that I will. But, we'll see.Sarahhttp://www.iamsarahmichal.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
