Rant!

I’m very new to this app 3 days and I’ve already seen a few mean comments and I get discouraged to ask for help and give advice when I have it so thank you for making me feel not alone xx

i agree i posted the other day about feeling bad as my baby won’t settle for dad and always wants to come back to me, i asked for advice because i want him to be able to have the time to deepen their bond and i was immediately met with messages saying it was selfish and i should be having baby with me 24/7. I removed the post after 15 minutes as i was made to feel bad for wanting a hours rest and leaving my child with his own father for a hour 🙄

There are some things on this app that people are very passionate about and sleep training is one of them! I'm very against the cry it out method but not all sleep training means cry it out, and I would like to think most parents understand how overwhelming it can be when you are relentlessly exhausted and just want your baby to sleep. So people should be allowed to state their opinions, this one is quite divisive, but there isn't any need to be mean. I think sometimes it's hard in text form to come across gently particularly when you're talking about something that you believe strongly about. I've seen this sort of thing but I've also received some brilliant advice and support on here and have given some that's been well received so don't give up!
