High priority note to myself - Be determined, Be strong

I should listen to my heart and my gut feelings as le le's mother, I know what I should do for him, but sometimes I got soften by negative comments. Yesterday nap time, I refused to feed him to test how long he can cried or he will learn that I wont feed and he will sleep. But he cried for 2 hours, now I know cry out method is not suitable for my baby, probably I'm using it as an excuse. I really can't bear to see him like that, and I feel so bad after I did that to him. Now I changed my bedtime routine from: Dinner > (dim light) warm shower > (dim light or sometimes lights off) milk > sleep to the following new routine started yesterday: Dinner > milk > (dim light) warm shower > (dim light) bedtime story > (dim light) milk with sitting position > light off > sleep Yesterday I went out the bed to off the light and he got panicked, today I should on the light by the bed side to reduce his insecure feeling. He did made some noise and 1-2

Baby sleep: wean off or nay?

Recently, my pediatrician told me that my baby at this age doesn't need any night feeding and should be able to sleep through the night. The common night weaning method is cry-out, but I don't wish to wear off his sense of security. Pediatrician said "You can't always give what your baby want isn't it?".  I can't, but I can't bear his crying can last for an hour, I didnt try more than an hour before, he is very persistent and determined to have me with him. I'm happy that he attached to me, as I understand that it only last for the first few years, after that he will have his own world, he will not attach to me so much. I really appreciate the time we have and treasure it. I believe every baby is different, friend's baby experience can't be mine. Based on an article, it stated that baby sleep through the night is a milestone too. This day will come eventually. I reminded myself I shall wait for the milestone, for the day to come.
