Hi all, I did the same with my daughter and after that she slept so well I used to forget about her until I realised she hadnt been fed!!!!.I must have been a terrible mum !!!! she has grown up be a beautiful person so it didnt do her any harm.everyone has their own remedies for getting babies and young children to sleep though. :-) :-) |

I have done exactly the same as Phillip Schofield and no doubt millions of other parents.No harm done.I think just recently he has had a lot of criticism for various comments he has made .Just bashing Phillip Schofield time I think.It will soon be someone else. |

There is plenty advice about leaving a baby to cry after all its needs have been attended to, but it's damned hard to put into practice, unless you have a will of iron! |

When we were foster parents we had a baby for 6 months. He came to us at 10 days old direct from the hospital where he was born. He slept right through the night from 10pm until 7 or 8am from the start. His Mum used to visit (she couldn't decide whether to keep him or have him adopted) and she said he was kept in the nursery from the beginning. I reckon they'd left him to cry at first and he then learnt to sleep through, I always thought it strange, having had two of my own, that he didn't wake for a feed, but he thrived, ate well at other times and didn't seem to need a night feed. |

Oh, eldest, a daughter, used to wake up through the night every two to three hours, she'd wake, I'd go in turn her over and she'd go back to sleep but we couldn't get her to sleep through, until she was 4 years old and had measles, never woke after that. |

My mother often said she could understand how some mothers just lost it and hit their babies or just left them to cry and cry |

I have had one bad sleeper and two good sleepers. They are in their 30's now and they haven't changed except I don't think my daughter's husband leaves her to cry :-D |

Nothing wrong in what Philip Schofield did he was nearby and so what if he had a glass of wine with him , his daughter has grown into a lovely young woan who seems to be doing well at University and from all the comments she makes adores her mum dad and sister so obviously done her no harm at all and probably helped give her parents some sanity back as theres nothing worse than a crying baby that wont sleep. |

I too had the crying baby, could have torn my hair out, lucky my husband had the patients of a saint, used to tell me to go away he would be the only one to calm him, or put up with the crying. I used to go in another room with cotton wool in my ears. |

Our gson was not only a very light sleeper but he had colic for about 4 months. It was hell! He had it day and night. After seeing dau. out on her feet, I checked with OH and son and said to her we would have him every weekend if they could cope the other 5 nights. |

I didn't hesitate with my youngest to leave her to cry it out a bit.....because in truth with the second you can't with all the will in the world give them the full on attention you can give the first. |

My son would never settle to sleep in his room, my midwife or whoever she was (can't recall, but she was about 55 and single with no children) suggested I leave my son to crawl around on his bedroom floor playing and if he cried to leave him, and if he fell asleep on the floor, to put a blanket over him and leave him I can imagine how well that would have gone down with my neighbour who had to get up at 6am every day for work and had two older lads at school. I was a single parent and had no back up so was often at the end of my tether. |

If babies don't naturally sleep well from birth or learn to drift off on there own in the 1st few months with the help of a good bedtime routine when they are sleepy there is always the need for a show down and crying it out works. |
