She's the mama. And, crying it out definitely worked for me. We did that with Emma when she got to be about a year old, and just now we switched her to a toddler bed and she cried the first few nights, but we let her cry herself to sleep. If we didn't she would never sleep. The only thing is now, if she wakes up crying its because she's fallen out of the bed. Stupid toddler beds.

[but not really caring]) thinking not about binkies but instead, "To bikini or not to bikini."? Advice, seriously?: No pacifiers, no thumb sucking, later no using the corner of the sheet for nose blowing, and they don't need to sit in the shopping cart when they're 10. Break all bad habits. You might as well. When he's older, he's going to be pissed at you anyway for something or everything.

Especially since babies are biologically programmed to wean from the breast anywhere between 3 and 7 years old! That's not always possible in today's culture, obviously, but it is silly to be snarky about a 3 year old still needing to suck on something.
