This blog post features a mother lamenting the difficulties of getting her child to sleep soundly a night, citing her own son’s constant waking and crying as something practically legendary. She further describes how this impacted her postpartum depression, and how she was desperate for a solution. That solution came in the form of a two-plus-week consultation from Kerrin Edmonds, who provided an agreeable method that did not force her, as a parent, to allow her child to cry until extinction.

Key Takeaways:

• I would not, at all, be open to giving my child “a chance to deal with it,” or the more present day term for this technique, “elimination.”
• Not exclusively did she guarantee me that wouldn’t be an issue, she clarified she had a few strategies we could use to educate my child how to rest.
• I chuckled at showing somebody how to rest, however she clarified that while rest is natural infants require help culminating it. Similar to breastfeeding.
