The next don&#8217;t let them sleep on their back.  They could die in their sleep.  I&#8217;m guessing most SIDS &#8211; Sudden Infinant Death Syntrom &#8211; are caused by an overstressed parent blacking out and killing their kid due to post pardom depression &#8230; or just plain lack of sleep because of the never ending crying.<\/p>\n<p>The main thing is &#8230; let your baby sleep.  You child needs sleep.  You need the quite.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many &#8220;do&#8217;s&#8221; and &#8220;don&#8217;t&#8221; fads out their about rasing your kid.  YA you heard me right FADS!  Just like dieting &#8220;how to raise your kid&#8221; has a new fad out every year.<\/p>\n<p>Do this and your child will be creative.  Do this and your child will be intelligent.  How about this &#8230; let your child grow.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a great fad for you.  I call it the redneck version of reading to your children.  Turn on closed captioning to your tv so they can read what they are saying.  There are 2 reasons you should do this #1. it might just help the kids learn how to read.  #2. You can actually watch your tv show even if the kids are screaming at full volume \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not an expert. I&#8217;ve never read a book on &#8220;child rearing.&#8221;  Mostly because of all the &#8220;mind fuck&#8221; books out there.  Or how to manipulate your child into doing what you want them to do.<\/p>\n<p>I probably do everything wrong according to the experts.<\/p>\n<p>I think the main things are love them, feed them, and teach them.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways have fun reading about the latest child development fad here.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/2\/hi\/health\/5128144.stm\">Babies need &#8216;tummy time&#8217; to develop<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s going on with this whole baby sleeping on the stomach is bad?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,24,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-insanity","category-life-stories","category-makes-you-think"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.the-erm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
