To get wound up about MN and sleep advice

I love MN and will often come on to get advice...can normally count on it for sensible pointers for everything except for sleep.

AIBU to wonder why noone on MN seems to want their children to sleep through the night? I no of noone in RL who co-sleeps - but everyone on MN seems to? And people seem to think it's entorely normal for a 8 month old baby to wake repeatedly through the night.

I just don't get it. So much valuable advice...yet everyone on here seems to go madly soft when it comes to sleep.

Am I the only one?

Biitchiest comment EVER on Mnet gors to Panda Biscuit

Love mother of a strict, well read, hardworking UNLUCKY mother of a reflux baby.

You clearly haven't been on many AIBU threads Grin

mrsspagbol · 20/02/2014 22:26

Lol Cote clearly not. I spend anll my time trying to get my DD to sleep but apparently this is not sufficient compared to Panda, megrim et al

CoteDAzur · 20/02/2014 22:28

Does that include leaving your baby to cry for a bit, or not?

mrsspagbol · 20/02/2014 22:33

No have not done CC

CoteDAzur · 21/02/2014 08:46

The biscuit is a bit premature then, isn't it?

PuddingAndHotMilk · 21/02/2014 11:52

Cote, what's your point? That because spagbol chooses not to do CC she can't (correctly) suggest Panda was in need of a Biscuit for her posts?!
There's some logic missing there! Are you sleep deprived??

CoteDAzur

No decent parent would use CC or CIO on a baby with reflux.

Even the so called baby sleep 'experts' who tout CC and CIO as the best thing since sliced bread don't advocate its use on babies/children who are ill or teething or funnily enough, those who are 'adopted and/or have abandonment issues'.

So enough with the sarky shite eh.

Thank you Pudding and Highlander

Just read Cote's reply and would like to redirect my biscuit / give out another one!

What on earth is wrong with you people? Hmm

You have understood nothing from my post. Don't let that stop your bitchy self-congratulation fest, though.

self-congratulation fest

I'm really trying to be nice here, but accusing some of the parents of the non sleepers in this thread of being in a self-congratulation fest, when some of the parents of sleepers have explicitly said they are better parents is oh I don't know I'm too tired
