I feel VERY SORRY for this child because she has TWO IDIOTS for so called parents. This child will surely end up in serious trouble one of these days another Lindsey Lohan. I raised three loving, responsible, educated and most of all good people all boys on my own. They had boundaries discipline and love. But they always knew mom ran the show period!!

I just think it’s sad that people are so worried about what someone else does. This entire article seems a little bit too negative and I don’t really believe everything in the article. It has an obvious slant towards the negative. I guess people are still believing everything they read on the internet?? Really? How smart. I don’t trust any information that’s meant to get people riled up about discussing someone else’s business negatively. I, actually, think it’s pretty pathetic. People are so funny, how disgusted they get at other people and how appalled they are when I’m sure if we looked at their life, we could find quite a bit of dust under the rug. Get a life and stop believing everything you read. Why be so judgmental anyway? I just don’t get it, all of these perfect people and I haven’t met one yet…

why is she still in diapers and why does she still need night feedings? the youngest kid i know doing that is my friend julia’s 2.5 year old….he is still weaned at night and her other six children are horribly upset about it because now he screams….this kid also doesn’t talk at all yet except for ‘mama, dada, petey, thomas, and, jelly’ and he has no idea what a toilet is….and he can barely walk, he is still carried everywhere. but a 4 year old that needs night feedings? can you even think about the teeth problems? and what about when sofia gets older and teased about…those things?

My birth parents had me in diapers and taking bottles until I was 5 years old.

It wasn’t the best thing for a child, and I was definitely spoiled as hell, but I didn’t suffer any long term effects because my grandmother stepped in and made some changes when she saw what was going on.

It isn’t too late for Leah Remini to step up and fix the situation. I hope for her daughter’s sake she decides to make some changes.

Ok it’s her first child and she needs to figure this mom stuff out by herself. Who are you to judge? Her kids is fine. Give her a brake.

Let’s put this in perspective. When I had an infant, she didn’t eat 6 times a night. At infancy, they are expected to wake to eat, pee and/or pooh, every 2 to three hours. Which, if you observe 8 hours, hell, even 12, that would be 4 bottles. Four very small bottles. Using the 12 hour guideline, her kid is getting a bottle every two hours. Seeing a photo of her kid, she does not need this.
As a parent, I use a mix of attachment and traditional methods. Mainly, instead of using a rigid dogma, I see what works and go with that. I agree that the child should find other ways to soothe themselves rather than using a bottle after the age of one. And as far as potty training, yeah, my kid took longer than some, but she is 4 1/2 and in underpants full time.
Sofia needs help.

Four years old and still using bottles? Diapers?!? This kid will be starting kindergarten in about a year. I’m not a parent myself yet, but MOST kids are off the bottle around a year old and potty trained between 18 months to 2 and a half. But 4? Come on!

Leah needs to put her foot down and stop indulging in her daughter’s lazy behaviour and to stop being lazy herself. So what if she screams?

Throw the bottles away, teach her to use a cup and toilet train her! A kid that age should be in underwear.

So she might have to do more laundry from occasional accidents…it’s better than buying diapers and having the kid lie on pee-soaked towels. Parenthood isn’t about giving the kid what he or she wants…it’s providing them with a safe, loving, supportive home and teaching them to grow up into a good person. The kid will never learn anything if she continues to be pampered and spoiled.

From a clinical standpoint, Leah is lucky her daughter didn’t have a seizure and or die from a dangerously low sodium level. I did some nursing clinicals with patients with severe polydipsia. AKA an insatiable thirst. They were so thirsty they drank each others urine! It was determined by blood tests that these men could drink 96 oz of water before having a dangerously low sodium level. The average male weighs 190 lbs. Assuming Leahs overweight daughter weighs a quarter of that which is 47.5 lbs, she would only be able to safely drink 24 oz of water! Not the sometimes 64 oz or more that she was drinking. Shame on Leah for not listening to her doctor and for doctor hopping so she could hear what she wanted. She is lucky the outcome wasn’t horrible. I wonder if she puts her child in a car seat if she doesn’t want to sit in it. Or lets her play with matches if she wants to……..

maybe there is something else going on with their daughter….like a disability. A lot of times kids who still do those things at that age have underlying devlopmental issues. I think that they should at least get her evaluated for some sort of developmental disorder. and just an fyi most kids dont potty train until age
3 1/2…contrary to what some people think. I have 4 children and while that is a bit old its not as bad as it could be. oh and another FYI most attachment parenting moms breastfeed not bottle feed. read dr.sears

Just want to throw my two cents in, in spite of arriving very late to this party. My husband and I made the extremely difficult decision together, when my son turned 10 months old, to let him “cry it out”. This was after we sunk into a one hour nighttime routine of rocking, singing, more rocking, patting, pacing, etc. We knew we had turned into a “crutch” and that he needed to learn to fall asleep on his own. Allowing him to cry it out worked fine – he is now a normal, well-adjusted, happy four year old who sleeps through the night, goes to bed at night without a fuss, does not suffer from separation anxiety, etc. Reason being, because when our son wasn’t “crying it out”, the rest of the time he was loved, held, talked to, and played with – not neglected. If you let a neglected child cry it out, that’s just more neglect. If you let a well-loved, respected child cry it out – and make sure they know you’re still in the house, just going on about your business and allowing them to go on about THEIR business of falling asleep – it’s teaching them to become self-reliant sleepers. Parents who allow their children to “cry it out” often get villainized and I just wanted to say that I’ve learned from experience that it works, and it shows the child that the parents TRUST the innate instinct that they were born with to sleep.
