I know this is an old thread but I just couldn't help myself......

How does an only 12 month study on only 25 babies prove anything!

I'm sure that ladies baby did sleep 12 hours, because he is so exhausted from crying and he has learnt to shut of his emotions because mummy isn't going to come anyway!

What are we teaching our children by doing this to them?

I was in an MBU a few weeks ago, I co-slept the whole time but all the staff there were desperate for me to try there method.They actually implied that it's the 'only' way it should be done.

The one comment that got me while I was there was 'when the baby is warm, has a clean nappy and is full, then you know they don't need anything, they just don't like change'....aren't emotional needs, needs? like being scared, wanting a cuddle, feeling lonely or even a tummy ache?

Oh I could go on......


P.s I DO NOT want to offend anyone who has had to use these methods, I understand how it could be needed...I respect everyones choices...that's just how I personally feel about it though.
