i cannot do the controlled crying, it just makes me so sad and uptight listening to them cry when all they want is mummy.
my 1st baby hallie is now 17 months, when she was born she slept in a bassinette and i had my mum and family from overseas there to help....when they all left things changed.
i did what worked and that was holding her while she slept or wearing her in a sling....i know some people may look down on this but it worked for me and i have such a strong bond with my little girl. she does sleep in her bed now but is still all mummy at bed time.
this was difficult sometimes but i dont regret it one bit...
my second baby keira sleeps in her bassinette and i have tried to do this more often (she is 5 months now) i find myself feeling guilty because im so worried that our bond will not be as strong , i love both my girls ...they are my reason for living.
should i sling keira more often for that extra closeness?
