Yes Andrea, i tried that one with one of mine, except i had the neighbours hammering on the walls. They must have thought i was deaf!!!! Not only that we were all kept awake.
At the time, he was still in our bedroom, and someone told me it was best if he slept in his own room as when he woke up, he could see us lying there and would yell for attention. (plus the fact it was hard to have a (s_e_x) life)
Desperate times call for desperate measures. We put him in with his brother. For a few nights he winged and moaned, but i think after a fortnight, he was sleeping through at night.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

No he is not smiling at night he is very distressed , no he smiles in the morning when we are both looking half dead !!!!
No I have used controlled crying to great effect and I am an exponent of the little baby book and its torture techniques .
lol
No as a parent you get to know your babies cry very well and he is genuine distress .
He also knows not to !!!!!! his daddy off !
Its ok this is just a stage he will get through but it is interesting tapping other mums or dads for imfo and I will be back no doubt for more advice'The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides with the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon those with great vengeance and with furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.0 -
My daughter is partial to single malt though I'm sure I could have got away with a cheaper whisky. No I am not saying getting your baby drunk, merely wet your (clean) finger and apply as you would Bonjela. Its what my mum gave me and it never caused any harm (hic!)
I am fully aware that giving alcohol to babies could seriously damage or kill them so, before anyone shoots me down in flames, it all depends on how much (much the same as Calpol).0 -
