Bah! I hear ya! Some of the mums at playgroup look at me funny when I say DD still feeds 2-3 times a night and they look even more flabbergasted when I say we're still cosleeping! Apparently I need to break her out of that habit! Funny how I seem to be getting more sleep than most of them
Yeah, I hear ya too! I'm sick of having conversations with people about DS's sleep patterns and answering stupid questions about whether he's a "good" baby. I just look at them oddly and say "well, if by good baby you mean that he sleeps when he wants to, then yes, he's a good baby." I don't really know what a good baby is mean to do otherwise
All my social time at the moment is with other mothers, and I have to say, I'm a bit sick of the oestrogen-overload. I'd prefer to talk about the weather than DS's sleep
Oh, and btw, the mum's I've spoken to who's babies are sleeping through are also (sometimes) the ones crying themselves to sleep. One of the couples I know only respond to their 6 week-old son's cries when he's hungry...not when he's "having a tantrum." What sort "tantrum" is a 6 w/o baby meant to have??
I hear you all on the controlled crying thing! It seems to be a popular way to get baby to sleep hey? I feel sad for those bubbas though, and sad that the mums seem to have no connection to the damage that it could possibly cause.
It was so funny though, yesterday at the lunch. Missy moo was sitting all content and smiling at everyone and the other "good" little baby who sleeps through the night cried and grizzled through the whole lunch!!!! GO FIGURE!!!
Hehe.
Thanks again guys. I *heart* everyone on bellybelly.

Aww darl, don't worry what anyone else thinks or has to say ..... your a wonderful mummy with the most adorable little girl in the whole wide world
What exactly is a 'good' baby anyway ?? A baby is a baby - dont know how they can be labelled as being a good baby, or a bad baby actually afterall they are just that babies
awww... that breaks my heart leaving a 6 week old to cry like that
To me...a baby crying is their voice, a form of communication....babies cry for a reason. To ignore your baby 'talking' to you like that...disgusting IMO....
I agree delphmoon! I just think about how I'd feel if I were crying and my DH ignored me. It would be awful!
At the end of the day, my baby may not be able to quite get herself over to sleep yet but I am happy to help her and I am cherishing this time with her. She's not going to be this size for much longer...... time is going too fast already!
