Unsolisited advice

Don't you just love when people give you advice when you dont ask for it??
While at my PT apt. Curt was asking me about what I do that aggravates my back. I told him when I get Ryleigh in an out of the crib I get sharp pains. Somehow that brought on the topic of her sleeping at night. I mentioned that she still gets up 3-4 times a night. (Every 3 hrs) Then he says "My son did that. You need to put a stop to that....we just let him cry it out. The first night he cryed for 2 hrs, the second night 1hr and the 3rd night 30 min. Then he was sleeping all night." I didn't say anything to him. I wanted to say "What the hell kind of parents are you letting your poor son cry for 2 freaking hrs!!!" To me that it child abuse! A baby as young as Ryleigh needs something when they cry! I don't care if shes getting up every 3 hrs! Obviously she needs me and shes hungry! I'm not going to make her starve till morning just because I want some sleep! I signed up to be a Mommy 24/7 and take care of her needs whatever they may be. If she wakes up and just wants cuddles, then lets cuddle!

I hear ya, I also hate when people give advice like that!!! How can they let their babies cry it out! No way, I would be crying in 2 mins of hearing my baby and not being able to hold her!!

I'll be here reading your blogs!
