You reckon? Our wee one is 5 and will certainly have no clue on God and/or religion yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 This isn't child abuse, he genuinely wanted the top [emoji14] That's him starting to come to games on a Saturday now with me and his grandad, great to have the family tradition carry on [emoji4] Good to see mate. My eldest supports Aberdeen... only reason was I showed him a you tube video of them beat Real Madrid in 83. My other son and my daughter have no affiliations yet.My old man's a Raith fan so occasionally will go to a match with him. Meet up in the 200 club with him and my uncle and some of their old mates. Craic is great, real dry east coast humour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Equalizer Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Not sure if this has been covered in this thread but my 13 month old boy will endure his third night of CIO (Cry it out) tonight. The first two nights were fucking horrible. It's really difficult leaving him to wail like that. I've been torturing myself watching the baby monitor and I feel like shit about it if I'm honest. I quite like him sleeping with us and I don't mind getting up 3 or 4 times a night to soothe him/change him but my Wife is going up the wall. She really needs her sleep whereas I can get by on 5 hours. Anyone else done this? Was it successful? How long until I don't feel like an awful parent? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Nope, was told to do it by health visitor but it went against my nature. Mine slept through the night but either in my bed or with me settling them. My youngest still sleeps in beside me. Other two moved out to own beds about age 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't see results over the next couple of days might have to rethink it but I'm hoping to have him sleeping on his own well before then. Was it difficult to get them to move to their own beds after sleeping with you for so long? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) 5? f**k that! Ours was in her own bedroom from 6 months and sleeps all night. Before that she was in a cot in our room and only in our bed if it was a real meltdown night. Edited September 23, 2017 by Rugster 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Is there not a method where you leave them longer and longer each time?Eg go in after 2 mins of crying, then next time wait for 4 mins, gradually building up. I think that's what we did. They only come into our bed in extreme circumstances. There's definitely a learned behaviour thing going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's called ferbering, don't fancy that as every time you go into the room you basically reset the clock and they are back up to 11, or at least mines is.

RH33 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Co sleeping isn't for everyone but neither is letting an infant scream for everyone. You do what works for you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB 4.2 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Posted in Feb that we lost a baby at a later stage. The clearblue stick is showing pregz again, which I'm delighted about. Just very scared about the scans. Complete change of emphasis from excitement to trepidation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Skidmarks Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 My eldest is three and about once a week she still comes through with what she calls "bad dreams". Tbh I let her in my side and go and sleep in her bunk beds, its probably the best sleep I have all week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when the current one was pregnant we just said screw it and paid for the 4d (?) baby scans so we got one every other month just to keep an eye on her. Really helped us through the pregnancy, esp since she had a front lying placenta and couldn't feel anything for the whole 9 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
