Hi - yeah, I know control crying gives some parents the results they want but I'm not going there - I guess, having whinged and become almost hysterical over no sleep, I would still rather put up with it than let him cry to sleep, that's just how I feel. My sister tried it on her lo (out of sheer desperation) and said it made her 10 times worse and it tooks weeks to rebuild the trust. Anyway - it's a touchy subject but I guess I wouldn't be trying the BW methods if was into CC. (but I do appreciate your advice JBD - you're not the first one to tell me to toughen up!)
Having said that, Oscar was up at 6am this morning, laughing and grinning at me so I knew there was no sleep-in today! He's napping now (he'll do his reliable 40 mins). I wish someone would wind me down and give me a nap too! :roll: Unlike my DH, who can fall asleep in an instant, I take about 30 mins to fall asleep, so I don't even try to catch up when Oscar goes down!
I hear that quite a bit about weight - that is, putting it back on again. Does having a baby automatically slow your metabolism or what? It seems like now I'm a Mum, I must have tuck-shop arms and 3 tyres around my waist. In fact, speaking of Mums - when I look in the mirror now, I see MY Mum's body! :x I used to be so fit and slim! I hope I can get back there again without too much drama, guess it will take time, probably longer than the 9 months it took to get here though! :roll:
Signing? I've never heard of that! (except for in the movie - Meet the Fockers...so funny). Is this a BW thing?
