    my baby is a screamer too that had a hard time getting to sleep during the day, I've been told that I'm spoiling her, I shoudl let her CIO, I am creating "rods for my back" I've ignored it all and just do what she needs. Tresillian says " after 20mins of sefl setting in the cot do whatever it takes to get her to sleep"

    Good enough for me. I agree there is no perfect parenting world. Just babies that are high demand or not.

    Crazy huh? Since the science shows brain wiring has been affected after 5 mins of crying without a response.

    I never took those things literally either- more that these babies only have to make a peep and they are fed because they are always worn or cosleeping so they are right with their mumma.

    I HATE going places with baby in the car seat and he cries. It is so damn unnatural and I always think of those blissful bubbas in africa with no cars and just their mumma & a sling.
