Sorry Heaven and Boomba - it is distressing and wasn't my intention to just pass on the distress. Just wanted to make people aware that this advice is being given still. I agree wholeheartedly with all your comments and have also advised someone who works with the Infant Mental Health group of these examples - something should be done about these particular medical experts I think! I also agree that I could not let my baby cry for even 10 minutes without attending to her even if all the doctors in Australia told me too!
Thats ok hun, I have heard lots of distressing stories just like this. I have had to actually not let myself read them etc as it has become really distressing...but oops read yours lol......I also had to remember I cant save every baby from having to cry themselves to sleep at night...i am not talking a grizzle I am talking full blown distress cry...cause it is just breaking my spirit and trust in human nature
