I`m sorry, but what more can you do? If the baby is fed, changed and you are comforting him or her, what is left to do? There is nothing wrong with letting the baby cry if you are doing everything in your power to get him or her to settle down. Like Jendez if it gets to be too much, I have put mine in the swing and they were sleep within minutes. I know I will be wearing a scarlet letter for letting my children CIO but oh well I do what I have to do....

When my 5 month old is over tired, I mean to the point where nothing helps and she`s starting to give me headache, I put her in her boppy in my bed, walk away for a few minutes and let her cry it out, go back a few minutes later and she drinks boobie for like 5 minutes and is OUT!

I`ve found with my last two, luckily no colicy babys, but they only time they seemed unconsolable is when they were over tired. I did just that, coo`d at them and held them while they cryed themselves to sleep. Didnt happen too often but a few times each they fought sleep a little too long.

Def loving and comforting to hold them while they are crying. You are showing effection and attempting to soothe :) There is nothing wrong with that!! thats being a mother :)

  4. My friend has just started taking fertility tablets which the DR said could increase her chances of having twins by 10%. Did this work for any of you and did you have twins?
  5. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!
  6. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  7. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  8. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  9. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  10. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
