The Cot

Image-1It will be my rebellious nature, will I have an innate passion for things that "do not do", I love that I will transgress the "bars" just do not tolerate. I have a natural dislike for bars, whatever they are. From young scavalcavo the gates of the stadiums to follow the concerts from under the stage, I pulled the starter to nail to avoid the closure of the level crossing passing last lying on the handlebars. When I was working in the community with children under guardianship, explain to them that they had to be "inside" was an incredible effort, which sottostavo for their own good, but at a high cost for my soul.

The question is still operating when it was time to put my daughter in bed, my thoughts could not formulate another: I behind bars not I put. Yet as I had no other alternative?

unnamedI came back to Thailand when Lanna was seven months old and I have to admit that you are accustomed to tuttonuovoinunavolta with some difficulty and sleep is one of the aspects that has suffered most. During the first month was attached to the breast very often and sometimes for a few hours: I seemed to be back in behind 6 months! At night, when I put her in her crib and she felt move, woke up immediately, indeed before immediately. Until one evening my husband has a mattress on the ground of one and a half, up little more than four fingers. Puts the sheets, system two pillows on the sides and Dudu: I do not I put up there neanchepertuttol'orodelmondo, I thought! Faced with this news I put their foot down because I could not accept a change of this magnitude: even if it is against my nature, children must sleep in their bed, and I say that and lively group of mothers in my head for some time or thought patterns or closures cultural or whatever you call.

I had read, I do not remember where, it is advisable not to take the baby in bed with mom and dad during nocturnal awakenings, while it is preferable that both the mother to lie down next to the child to calm him or feeding - and who said that co-sleeping is done only in Latvian? I did not remember this thing, certain is that in my case it worked and I solved the problem of sleep putting my daughter to sleep on the floor, how do you use in Thailand. Now when she wakes up I lie down beside avoiding them unnecessary turns on and off the couch. If you avoid the use of chairs, baby walkers, box, etc.. stimulates the psychomotor development, I believe that the contact to the ground during the hours of sleep infuse tranquility and sense of peace to the child calms down and sleeps longer. We must remember that the land was for the ancient symbol of the great mother, was considered the mother of all mothers and it is as if affidassimo our baby or child in the arms of someone more wise and experienced. Therefore: as the cradle of the best mother of all mothers?

It almost seems that out of my cultural rigidity there is something interesting to discover, and that contact with different cultures is a source of inspiration.
