Hey Bubs - yep that makes sense - it so tricky though isn't it - I am used to his crying now and sometimes I have blocked it out so effectively I don't notice that he is hysterical - it makes me feel so bad when I realise he's really screaming the house down and I've been leafing through a magazine, drinking coffee and intermittantly gazing out the window.... what a terrible mum!

his attention cry is so loud too, I sort of start to feel sorry for the neighbours after a while!!

How long do you leave the attention seeking cries before you go and see what she's up to?
