when Curren was about 8 months old, we started to try to get him to go to sleep w/ out nursing because I was going to be going back to work at night and Ryan was going to have to put him to bed & give him a bottle of my milk. I read that if you try to incorporate a blanket when the baby is nursing, it helps the transition when you are not there. So we did that and it worked really well. There was a week or so of some bouncing and rocking..but it did the trick. "Banky" "Banky Spanks" or "Skanky Banky" as i call it..is a must have come bedtime. It's only for sleep, he's not dragging it around sucking on it 24/7 like I have seen some kids do (GROSS).
Banky during his first Ear Infection :(
I love how babyish he looks here!
The blankey situation is getting a little strange lately. He's been talking to it, and when I put it in the washer he will tell it "It's ok Banky you just need a little bath"..and when we come home he will go grab it and hug it and tell it how much he's missed it! Is this weird? It seems weird to me!
I cnt help but giggle at this..... maybe he really thinks stank bank is "SOMEONE/THING" that feels emotion?
ReplyDeletenot weird at all = totally normal!!! =)
ReplyDeleteDylan has one also, it's his "cozy", and he totally does the same thing! I don't think it's weird at all, it's never crossed my mind! :)
