Have you ever had a dream where the sounds and voices you heard were actually in the room when you woke up? This is when you are 'hearing' sounds but your brain is placing them in the context of a dream. In any case, this is a great way of sending messages subconciously. I intend to do it with my daughter as she 4 , on the spectrum is exactly in the same bedtime situation as Buddy Boy.

Every single night my husband whispers "Beautiful boy, I love you sooooo much", while he holds our son in his arms. Even though the boy is fast asleep at this point, I think he somehow hears it and registers it. Because last Summer we were all laying in bed together, and after we said our good nights, my son looked at us and said "sooo much".Another Autism Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15068526422102642426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821799658844915805.post-91143062611571114952007-05-27T02:05:00.000+01:002007-05-27T02:05:00.000+01:00Sniff.

We changed formulas, did the amino acid formula thing, everything. Finally it burned itself out.<BR/><BR/>Sweet Pea's "colic" lasted 12 weeks until we finally figured out it was really GERD. We used to have to sleep with her strapped to one of us with a "Baby Bjorn" carrier. We each took turns sleeping in a reclining chair (Lazy Boy) every other night. Half the night was spent bouncing her around the house strapped to us, singing, chanting, cooing, etc. Anything to keep her from screaming. Then we would lay down for 20-30 minutes, until she would get up and scream again.<BR/><BR/>Two days after starting her on Prilosec, she was a new baby. Smiled for the first time, laughed, and "slept like a baby".<BR/><BR/>Sweet Pea had to continue the Prilosec for about 18 months, as I recall.Club 166https://www.blogger.com/profile/01816977079856902634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821799658844915805.post-22249013256483494912007-05-26T15:53:00.000+01:002007-05-26T15:53:00.000+01:00I've always whispered to my boys at night but neve...I've always whispered to my boys at night but never thought it could be good for them....I do it for me! It makes me feel good to whisper and cuddle and love when they're asleep. It gives me a bit more bonding time I guess since they're so busy and fast when they're awake.<BR/><BR/>Patrick's night trained but his 7 yr old NT brother is not...as a matter of fact it seems we're in the exact same boat as you in that regard. Even with wake ups at night he's wet a lot of the time and he flows right out of that pull up too. I just keep telling myself it's a matter of time....which it is of course. He has my small bladder and makes a whole lotta pee!mumkeepingsanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359192887444530869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821799658844915805.post-70809149091795645682007-05-26T13:58:00.000+01:002007-05-26T13:58:00.000+01:00Buddy Boy and Duncan would be such good mates, I'm...Buddy Boy and Duncan would be such good mates, I'm sure!<BR/><BR/>I whisper to my wee man when taking him to the toilet at nights too. But my husband enjoys whispering to, and gently kissing, the soft, curly head of his son while he's asleep even more than me. Duncan is much more physically cuddly with me than with his Dad, so he loves the chance to relish his beautiful, sleeping little boy gorgeousness.Sharon McDaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550156204691696968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821799658844915805.post-87824414865157629082007-05-26T13:54:00.000+01:002007-05-26T13:54:00.000+01:00I can so relate to this.
