I'm happy to hear someone else say that the advice I was given is crazy! I lost so much sleep over it, figuring it was bad advice, but not sure what I should be doing, wondering if I was fostering some sort of bad habit in him. And you're so right about it being a symptom. I didn't think of it like that, but it's true. Thanks so much for the advice! I should have posted here ages ago!
It breaks my heart to think of you losing sleep over this advice! But that's the nature of parenting, isn't it? We take everything to heart!
