Ferber

Has anyone here done the Ferber method? If so did it work? And how long did your LO cry for one day one (and subsequently)?

Please rethink this method. It is absolutely cruel to let your infant cry when theyre basically begging for you love and closeness.
Your baby won't learn to self soothe, your baby is too young. It will just learn that asking for comfort is useless as you're not coming.

Im not making judgements, I'm just stating scientific research, bar the clueless but that's a conclusion drawn from the research.
Anyways, is your little one maybe teething?
Also crying while being held and comforted is very different for a baby than crying and being left alone. Everyone is different, I have been where you are and even now my little one will fall asleep in the carrier and stays on us for a while.
At the end of the day, it is your baby and if you're happy with your little girl shutting down because she knows no one is coming for comfort than that's fine but that is the reality of this sleep training method.

Have you looked at the course from “just chill baby sleep” it’s a sleep training course for babies 6m+ which teaches you how to teach your child to independently sleep and it’s a lot more gentler than Ferber, your child won’t be left to cry and it gives you two methods to decide which suits you best 🙂 it is tough when they are crying and not being able to soothe them but if other things are at play e.g too much day sleep, not enough day sleep, teething, learning new skills etc all the sleep training in the world won’t get her to settle easy so best ruling those out too 🙂

Yes I have to be careful because of IPR but it walks you through what you need to do to help your baby sleep independently there is two methods you can go through I chose the settling in cot one and it basically tells you what to do and how to respond, honestly it’s worth the money and my daughter responded really well to it as there was no crying and I always went into her

Positive then Negative Test?

I tested positive on Thursday, 1-2 weeks pregnant. Today I done another test which indicated not pregnant and I have now started to lightly bleed, only see the blood when I wipe after a wee and nothing on my pad.

Has anyone else had this? This didn’t happen in my first pregnancy 4 years ago and I feel confused!

Adoption mentioned due to gender

Some information will be vague in case the person is on here
A family member went to a private scan today to find out the gender of their baby. I had a gut feeling it was a boy and she was so sure it was a girl and was hoping it was because she already has a boy. So she is told she is having a boy and has a breakdown and said in front of amother family member who went with her that she just wants to put the baby up for adoption. Her partner hasn't said anything about her saying this, but has made it known he doesn't care what the baby is he is just happy having a second child. I went through the system myself so this has really affected me and I just want to have a go at her for even thinking about putting a baby up for adoption just because of the gender, there isn't any other reason she said this just the gender. I haven't but would I be out of order saying to her that her saying that has upset me and it is so wrong to say about putting the baby up for adoption just based on the gender. I have lost all respect due to this but don't want to completely ruin our relationship for our children's sake because they have done nothing wrong and shouldn't have their relationship ruined because of what the family member has said

Evap or positive on Tesco cheapie?

14dpo and just had this test on the day of my missed period. It’s would be my third pregnancy and I’ve never seen one like this faint before but equally never used a Tesco cheapie so can’t tell if it’s an evap or not?

Yes or no?

Test yesterday (red line) and thought it was maybe a faint line but blue one today has me doubting it. Included the invert images too…does that even work?
