My husbhand and I started controll crying our 1 year old girl to sleep for the last 10 nights and it seems to be working as she does not wake up in the middle of the night now.

I concern is that I live with my Mother In Law and she says comments like \";Your killing that baby by making her cry herself to sleep\";.

This makes me very made and angry cause she our child and we are trying to enforce a good sleep routine. My husband who is the main carer for our girl feels let down and upset that he's mum is saying these sort of things.

My MIL is very old (75) and I would like to know how to deal with her. How to we explain what we are doing to correct. Is there anywhere in Gujarati that I can give her to read so that she can see that what we are doing is not wrong.

She doesn't seem to believe us.

HELP..!!!!! Gujarati Mom replied. Hi Sajel,
I had the same problem when my mother in law was living with us. So I tried different approach. Instead of trying cry out method, we opted for No Cry solution. It required lot of patience, but now my 2 yrs. old daughter is doing better. We are still in the process. I followed No Cry Sleep Solution by Alizabeth Pantely. You could get that book from the library and try it out. It might work and the bonus there isn't any crying involved.

Hope this helps.
