Every parent is different, I have a friend now that puts her 2 month baby upstairs to sleep, upstairs on it's own(like the baby is going to do anything) but I had the baby with me wherever I was, so my friend putting her baby upstairs is alien to me, even if I went out of the room I took the baby with me.... so it is either me totally mad or her:rotfl::rotfl:

First baby= Baby-led care, i.e attending to every cry and whimper.

Second baby= A little more "Gina Ford" i.e. letting the kid cry for a few minutes knowing full well he isn't going to starve/die of a wet bottom/suffer lasting emotional damage from neglect.

Third baby= Full on "Gina Ford" i.e. shutting the little darling in the garden, along with the other kids, just for a bit of peace and quiet.

Yeah but my babies slept next to my bed for the first 12 months. They slept in a crib in the living room during the day.

Mine did too, though for around 9 months, but that was because I wanted to distinguish between a daytime nap and a night-time sleep so daytimes were light, with noise in the background and downstairs and bedtime was dark with curtains closed, quiet and upstairs, rather than I thought something was 'wrong' with putting a baby upstairs for a nap at 2pm rather than at 7pm. Baby went to bed before we did anyway, so was still upstairs alone till we came up.

I post on a few forums regarding hobbies I have but no others like this. I even ran a fairly successful forum at one point.

I'm financially stable so don't post for the money aspect, I post because I enjoy the topics people post and it increases my knowledge on consumer rights. There are a lot of topics (and boards for that matter) I don't read but it's such a vast forum that it still keeps me busy.

I started over on the Disability and Dosh board, as I have a disabled son. I can't remember what I posted, but I had previously posted on TES forums as I was studying for a degree in education.

I did, very tentatively, move over to other boards, as life is about more than my child's needs. Overall, I have found most posters friendly, but there are a few I would prefer to avoid. I don't use the ignore button because presumably a thread would no longer make sense if they are posting regularly on it.

More importantly than the odd few that I'm not keen on, I do have some favourite posters. It can be something of a surprise when you suddenly discover that they are male not female (or vice versa), or that they belong to a different age group than you imagined :rotfl:. I'm sure that if I met them in real life, they wouldn't be how I imagined

I think the worst times on MSE are when the kids are off school and you get teenage trolls. On the whole, though, it is a good place to be. MSE forums have certyainly helped me out and kept me company when I've needed it

thanks, thats what I was alluding to in my other post, my baby slept in a crib next to my bed too at 2 months, but at bedtime once she was settled I didn't stay in the bedroom with her, she was alone until I went to bed.
