That is disgusting! How are these people called 'experts' . I agree I wouldn't treat my dog like that either. Those poor bubbas who have to go through it.
Hun, OMG at that advice And the last one is just too awful for words, that poor little bubba how could they do that??!!
As you know we are having much the same issues as you with E's sleep, but I would be absolutely not prepared to do any of that and even if I was DH would not let me! Thank goodness he is so good that he will take E when she won't settle and I have just had it.
And BTW, I was told by the nurse that did our vax at 4 months that I could let her CIO now And just had our 6 month vax last week and had her tell me that again plus a whole bunch of other garbage....but that's a whole other vent
Wow!
That last one brought tears to my eyes.
SO sad for that poor bubba.
I haven't had a full nights sleep in 15 mths. My DD still wakes at least 3 times a night.
Yes I am tired and grumpy and sometimes at 3am I ask "Why can you not just sleep!" but I suck it up and get on with it. She is just the type of kid that needs a cuddle at 3am to feel safe and loved.
Just because someone has a medical degree does not make them all knowing. I wish people would trust themselves more. It must have been heartbreaking for those parents to listen to their baby cry for seven hours.
As much as I dislike some forms of sleep training I am a big believer that if they are to be done they should be done in a supervised situation like a sleep school so things like this do not happen.
oh those poor mums, dads and bubs!
i just want to give them *all* a huge, huge hug!
and a swift kick up the bum to the people who suggested such horrable things to do
in hospital with DS at 2 months i was told that he could be patted to sleep and he only needed a feed after 4hrs. they then tired to pat him off to sleep and the nurse who was doing it was "trained in making babies sleep" i screamed at her like a banchee (as you do after listening to your bubba cry for an hour) and told her that its my BABY she was patting not my cat.
and FWIW - DS at 5 months started teething so was up every 2hrs. now its started again at 13 months with teething/developmental leaps.
Thanks everyone for replying - glad i am not the only one who is absolutely horrified by all this.
Dansta - yes I think DD is probably teething which might explain why her sleep is so bad at the moment. Have tried teething gel and panadol but that hasn't made any difference. Did you find anything that helped with your DSs sleep at that stage? Oh and good on you for telling off that silly nurse (i had a chuckle about the patting the cat thing - so true (i might use that one next time I get that advise from the CAFS nurses!)
Sorry if my post has upset anyone - I just felt that it is important to post - even if it saved one baby from having to go through that it is worth it.
OMG I shouldn't have read that. That is just absolutely horrific!!!!!!!!!! Why would they tell someone to leave their baby alone for 7 hrs no matter what???? That is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!
