I feel quite lucky with my Pip - he sleeps relatively well, I don't like him to cry. The only person who thinks I should let him cry more is my DF!

Some crying is "ok" in my book - the whingey cry he's doing right at the moment cause he doesn't want to sleep, but has no choice. The cry while I'm getting his bottle ready .. but these are all non-painful cries that don't last longer than a minute at the most, the cries that he will smile at me through. The CC cry he doesn't smile at me though, and that's what breaks my heart.

Some people ask me if he sleeps through the night - I just reply "I don't expect him to, and when he does, I'm pleasantly suprised". And that seems to keep them all happy.
