Anyone else sick of being told the reason why bub doesn?t sleep is because "you?re too soft"?? ?Just let him cry himself back to sleep?! How about NO! I?m so tired of well-meaning but ill-informed friends and family advising us on how to get DS to sleep through the night. Of course their advice is based on.....well nothing!!

I just want to tell them to go do some research about how letting a bub cry actually affects their mental health and the way their brain develops ? that stuff is long term!! But then I?d look like an up-myself, know-it-all wouldn?t I?!!

Sure, I?m tired and I?d LOVE to get a good night?s sleep but these early years are so important to bub and really it?s a blink of an eye in DS?s whole life span.

Whenever DS wakes up crying at night and we get upset about having to get up, DH and I recite our mantra ?we?re building the foundations?.

Just wanted a bit of a vent with people who understand
