Here, but exhausted! Great to hear the mastitis is clearing up little p.

About the crying, I think I read somewhere (or dreamt it ) that sometimes crying is a way for babies to relieve tension or process things they've experienced?
So I let Riv cry sometimes, you know, cos it's for his own emotional development
Nah seriously though, if he's fed and changed, and has had a little cuddle, I let him go, most times he settles within 10mins, and if he goes much longer, I reassess the situation.
Not sure if you can see their personalities this early, but he seems really stubborn, and fights sleep, and crying seems to be part of that. Mum reckons I was a bit like that too as a baby, except not quite as intense as Riv.

Hope everyone has a happy and sleepfull night! xo
