I Stopped Shushing
"Sometime ago I replaced "shhh" with "I'm here." Whenever my second born would cry in the middle of the night, I'll hold him close and say "I'm here."
I stopped shushing him back to sleep because I learned that to be there for a person is more important than stopping him from crying. In fact the crying is not wrong but the crying warrants your presence. He need you there more than he needs to stop crying."
