Hi Girls ,

feeling very sleep deprived and a bit like a bad mummy this morning so please be kind hehe :-)

What exactly is Controlled crying?. When Kaitlyn is well and I know she is AOK and tired I will let her cry for up to 2minutes before going into comfort her ..as long as she is not hysterical. I will continue this up to 2minute rule unless she gets really upset at which time I pick her up until she calms down and her breathing is relaxed and then I will pop her back in her cot. I feel so horrible when she crys and I feel sick in my tummy. However I know she sleeps better during the night if I dont cuddle her to sleep ...just the type of bubs she is I guess as she wakes ALOT and always has. When she is sick I always rock her and comfort her as it is needed and then about a week after she has recovered I slowly ease her back into self settling herself..with my help of course.

Is this horrible?...is this what is considered control crying ..

Man this parenting thing can be hard sometimes! hehe
