🥲

I tried too but I couldn’t do it either, it made me too upset knowing that she was upset and I was letting her be upset so I stopped!

If I have to watch my child cry for 30minutes straight without attending to them, i better be crying with him! That’s unfair and they won’t be baby forever

I’ve never left my son to cry. We nursed on demand day and night until 25 months and contact napped and still co-sleep at 2.5. He’s the most emotionally intelligent toddler I know x

I can’t do it i have a 2.5 year old and a 3 month old and neither sleep in the pram. Both of them are super clingy my toddler only started sitting in the pram at about a year old and my 3 month old tolerates it for a little while.

I breastfeed and co sleep and I can’t handle my bubs crying I instantly sooth them.
I have never rushed home to give my babies naps either they will sleep on me while we are out and about either in a carrier or being held while they have a feed.

I personally don’t really like sleep training but no judgement if people do it I get it it’s hard I just personally don’t do it.

You can definitely go out for coffee and stuff. My 3 month old can sometimes be transferred into the pram while asleep but that’s rare and normally I just hold him while he sleeps but I like doing that

Good luck mumma you are doing a great job 🩷

A childcare teacher suggesting to let a baby cry it out for 30 minutes?! That is a massive no no. The cry it out method is very damaging to babies as it doesn’t teach them to fall asleep on their own or self soothe it teaches them that you are not coming for them x

The cry out method is a big no for me.. then regarding crying before sleeping, my daughter would cry every time we tried to make her sleep for more than one year, both in our arms and on the pram. I wouldn’t leave her alone to cry, but if she was in the pram and I would walk her around to make her sleep, and she would cry before falling asleep, I think that’s different.

If I wanted to be out during nap, before he started sleeping in the pram I would do a carrier nap. He loved them and I loved the freedom. Co sleeping and EBF.

Every baby is different, understand your baby’s temperament first!

Of course mums go for coffee while baby sleeps in the pram but letting them cry… no not normal

Letting an infant cry for no reason is child abuse

My daughter co slept with me since she came home from the hospital. It's beneficial for them.

I never let her cry.

That method is commonly referred to as the cry it out method and has been proven to cause phycological damage. Letting the baby cry for a few minutes without attending to is okay but any longer than 5 minutes can do some damage.
