Well anyhow, I believe it is the luck of the (baby) draw as to whether you get a "sleeper" or not. We had mixed luck. 5 months of screaming colic* and no sleep then things very gradually improved without us doing anything different! Shit just happens, as long as you are in tune with baby that is all you can do. I'm just proud and happy that bubs is now 7 months and still remains completely unscathed by my parenting (still has all her fingers and toes and everything)! I say of all parenting, if you are happy with what you are doing then I'm happy for you. I've got enough on my plate worrying about my own parenting skills without picking at someone else's!<br /><br />*Colic - When we told people bubs was Colicky various people told us colic didn't exist. That it was a term used by people with no idea how to comfort/look after their baby properly. That we must be doing something wrong. Cue us feeling like shit parents!Marilynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17722213398343161686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981930586276849766.post-27762560742665967302012-08-07T06:12:41.649-07:002012-08-07T06:12:41.649-07:00Ahhh a good solid smack of common sense here.
