I choose not to ever criticise (either passively or aggressively) other posts, but that last one is just silly. You can't seriously be aligning other mothers' choices to raise their babies in a certain way with the tragedy you have endured as a child? I am sorry for what you have suffered, but to suggest that because my child sleeps from 7 to 7 at present means that I won't ever let her come into our bed when sick, upset etc is nothing short of unfounded and unfair judgment.

I am disturbed and offended at your passive suggestion. I'm quite happy to leave this post as it clearly upsets you when I post MY experiences, but others are asking me questions and I'm happy to support them.

I have never said that my daughter is well behaved, I think that is a ridiculous concept for an infant/baby. She is contented, that is, she is nearly always happy, laughing, clapping, crawling, chasing the dogs, and generally playful. I also never said anything about being quiet, she talks and babbles at the top of her voice for all waking hours. Much to our enjoyment and the strangers she engages when we're out. There are exceptions of course, she had a cold last week, grew 4 teeth the week before and had conjunctivitis the week before that. Overall she is an absolute joy, and I choose to share that with other posters.

I have also never used the word convenient.

Once again, in MY experience, CLB is a great way to raise a contented little baby. I'm sure there are others too.
