All baby wearing mama's that I've seen do put our baby's down to do things. Many things in fact, but we are led by our children's cues and when they need us we are there for them. Both of my carried children now are very well adjusted 5 and 2 year olds needing their parents at normal times. <br />I am not scared of not being needed but with my infant, I knew when I was needed and was happy to meet her needs so she could grow into the secure two year old she has become. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by...<br />HeidiButterfly Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15233857663564199322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29413918.post-39959525550787748592009-01-14T13:07:00.000-07:002009-01-14T13:07:00.000-07:00When in the world will they ever learn independenc...When in the world will they ever learn independence? There is nothing wrong with a child playing on their own for a while. There is nothing wrong with a baby looking up an not seeing you there if you have to use the washroom or get a drink of water, whatever. It inspires independence, imagination, and confidence. I think mothers who feel they must hold there baby all the time and never allow them to cry are scared of NOT being needed and are creating very bad habits that will ultimately require even more crying and tears later to break. You can't carry a baby around in a sling forever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29413918.post-86662878810324472062007-11-08T09:29:00.000-07:002007-11-08T09:29:00.000-07:00I agree with everything you've said.

I actually had a friend brag to me that she rarely holds her baby.

I also agree with letting them tell you what they want instead of making a schedule for them. both of my kids have developed their own types of schedules for the most part and yes it changes a lot but I am flexible and laid back and so are they :) I like what you said too about other families having different situations meritting (sp?) different choices!Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278312453951176970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29413918.post-47100886498581012832007-11-05T16:03:00.000-07:002007-11-05T16:03:00.000-07:00Absolutely to everything.

It just felt RIGHT having them in bed with me. To let them nurse anytime they wanted. I LOVED this post.
