Paula I know someone who advised Calpol all the time to me... I never used it, never needed to use it and it didn't really work for them either lol. |

Island, before any of us are parents, obviously we haven't had children, but what we think we would do before we have them, often changes once the babies appear. I know that happened with me. |

I think I had better not comment lol, as with many things I have a rather 'alternative' view ;-) |

Philip did nothing wrong in my opinion , it is being made a big deal of because he is not the most popular person just now due to other things ., just an excuse for the public to have another bash at him . |

I didn't 'grow my own' but it was hardly rocket science to work out that rushing to a baby the moment it squeaked was teaching it that crying = parents attention. |

Our youngest grandchild was a crier as a baby, he cried and cried despite all efforts to pacify him he would go into uncontrollable outbursts of loud crying. This was not tantrums or from pain he just cried, bed times were a nightmare which always resulted in waking the older boy. His parents were both physically and mentally exhausted. DIL read about a study of so-called behavioural sleep techniques such as controlled crying – where the parent waits a certain amount of time before settling the child the study found they had no marked, long-lasting negative effects. I think from pure desperation they tried it for a couple of weeks. I have to say it was heartbreaking to see him get so distressed, but it worked and he soon settled. He will be two years old on Valentines day, he is the happiest cheeriest of chap. |

Parents can tell the difference in crying noises. Pain, hunger/wet and just plain 'I'll cry till you pick me UP' |

Don't you just love all these "knowledgeable "people who complain how other people bring up there children, some of them probably aren't even parents themselves and have no idea, but are experts and know what's best for others. |

Super Nanny would do the same! I did it with first one - on advice from mother. I cried all the time she cried - but it worked. |

Well done Muffy & Well done Phillip Schofield. Some times you have to try things like that after you have given everything else a go. It's about time people got to thinking about what they are told & by who they are told by, or whay they read. No such thing as a text book child, thats what makes us all different, because we are different. |

I'm sorry but i did that too...not for as long as he did...and not with a drink of any variety ...but she was crying because she was tired....and the only answer was sleep I'd tried everything else..it becomes a vicious circle letting them sleep in your arms because as soon as you try to transfer them to their cot they'd wake up !!!!! i wss crying outside the door myself but after that she settled in her cot brilliantly !!! x |

Many child care books suggest(ed) that approach. Would there have been such an outcry if he was drinking a cup of coffee? |
