I really disagree with this statement. Imagine how this would make the mum of a baby with high needs feel. To me it implies that if your baby screams for hours on end because of colic, reflux, sensory issues or just because of general velcroness then it's the mother's fault for failing to meet their needs.
Thanks for that statement. It seems silly but after reading some of the posts I was taking small offense about my abilities. My little one had colic (mostly grown out of now) and reflux. I can absolutely pick when she needs sleep and feed etc but when your baby is crying whilst you're feeding them and after your done it doesn't mean I missed the cues, it means the poor little thing is in pain.

My parents see what I go through and they say that I'm a good Mum because of how calm I am and patient wither her even with the screaming. Its all about taking the positives out of situations. My little one might have bad reflux but she sleeps through the night, so in some ways I have an easy baby as Mum's getting up every 2 hrs during the night would suck and I think do it tough.

Take the good when you can. People obviously think you're doing a good job
