An Essay from Heidi Murkoff
What to Expect started with information–or, actually, lack of information. In fact, when I found out I was expecting for the first time–I didn’t have the slightest idea of what to expect.

Babies are teething at this time as well, and that can cause them to wake up in discomfort. You may be weaning the baby from breastfeeding, and that can be a difficult transition as well.

Some recommend letting the baby cry it out, but this is hard on the parents, especially on mom who may have been comforting and bonding with the baby all day long. It can see cruel to just let the baby cry himself to sleep. He’s just a little guy, after all.
