[blparent] "scream it out" method

[Nikki Fugett-Dobens]

        I know some people say that I may spoil Mackenzie, but I don't think 
it's possible to spoil a little one this way.
When Mackenzie doesn't feel good, or can't sleep or has a bad dream, my 
husband and I bring her into our room to rest until she goes back to sleep. 
Many times, we put her back in her crib, sometimes, she stays with us.  She 
has no problems usually sleeping in her own room, but sometimes, she needs 
to be with us.
And like anything, it depends on the parenting style, I have always come to 
her quickly when she cries.  It makes me so sad to hear it.
