I have asked a friend if I could help at all with a bub that was being left to scream-it-out. I said it was tearing my heart out hearing it. She ended up teary also cos it was upsetting her too but she didn't know what to do. The poor child was beyond comforting tho, and definitely needed mummy cuddles. Was very sad. ETA: as above.. we ended up chatting and commiserating over everyone having 'those days'. There was no judgement. Just a mum to mum chat and a couple of suggestions of what I've done before when they just won't sleep.
As for the 'keyhole judging'.. I had to drag my defiant screaming 4 yr old to the car today. I was not going to stand and negotiate with the stubborn miss in the middle of the shops with the way she was screaming at me. People can think what they want on that one
