told to leave baby to cry and not pick it up i could never do that and spent 12 yrs of sleepless nights with my 3, 6 pm news said it is harmfull and causes phycological problems later in life, cant imagine anyone being able to do it to be honest in the first place , i wrote this out 1st time wrong stray lol xx

lol thought I was seeing things for a minute there

D never cried... he sang lol , when he was hungry he would kind of warble, and before he went to sleep he would ahhhh ahhh ahhh ahh aaaahhh..

Rose the first time i wrote it it sounded like i supported leaving the little darlings to cry all the time lol no amount of distincing myself from mine would have got me away they would wake the dead very vocal like me i guess lol xx

haha again, i could never do this with baby S, and i supose im probably to blame for him being a rubbish sleeper, i did try controlled crying, but 10 minutes was the longest i could got hen id cry and go in lol, i id try everything with him, and gave in and put him in with me, and altho he never slept good, he slept better

altho hes still in with me and sleeps fab now lolol, xx

a baby wont cry for nothing,

its said..oh theres nothing wrong with him/her,,,,,,but to the baby who just wants to have the comfort of their mum/dad or other,,,,,,,its a big enough reason to wail their heads off..:}}}}}
dont belive in letting babies/children cry themselves to sleep when a cuddle does the trick.

I remember pacing up and down ,listening to the screams ,thinking I can't bare this any longer.Probably 2 minutes lol.It is so hard to hear your baby screaming its head off and be able to ignore.It is impossible.

Bit bloody late now to tell us 25yrs after the event, I couldnt stand to hear mine cry my second son was never out of my arms he never cried he was so quiet...

i never took them in my bed i would just pace the floor and hold my breath as i layed them back in the cot and tip toed out, i agree kay baby cries for a reason, i think i was busier at nite than in the day time but cant put them in my bed now 2 have left home and the other snores lol

hayley get to your room norty words lol and dont cry im not coming to rock you

Mine were attached to me, most of the time, lolol, I fashioned a sort of sling out of a sheet, with the older baby.... in Wales it used to be traditional to wrap your tiny baby up in a blanket around your body... my mum did it with my brothers and sisters, probably me, too.... with my second it was winter, so I used a car blanket to do the same thing...... it was lovely and soft, not a rough old thing!

They just seemed to drift into their own rooms afterwards.... they were never in our bed unless ill or sometimes on a Sunday morning for a lie-in, though.

Love

Eldest was a terrible sleeper, she used to wake every 3 hours until she was 3 years old. As a baby once she was bottle fed OH used to walk the floor with her when she woke. Youngest was no trouble, he slept through from early on. One foster baby, a prem baby, fed every 2 hours, OH also used to walk the floor with him.

daff that sounds so lovely never thought of that i had the baby sling thing for a while but never felt convident with it.
when my kids were ill i would have them in with me or sleep on there floor, i dont know where the time has gone

ann donna my first was like that the days and nights rolled into one then david i would have to wake him he worried me that way xxx

I could never leave a baby to cry - it was too uncomfortablel!! (breastfed)
Used to get very peed off with mothers who did leave theirs to cry - I would get engorged and suffer the feelings until my youngest was over 5 years old!
Eldest loved being awake at nightime - she took her first steps at midnight!
I used to have her in bed with me - it was a very cold house - at least when she was with me, I got some sleep!
Used to carry them around in a sling during the day.
