To be annoyed by Coronation Street?

[Writerwannabe83]

I'm a little bit frustrated by frequently seeing a newborn baby being put in a room on his own for his naps complete with his bedroom door then being closed. I think I first saw this done when the baby wasn't even a week old.

Yes, I know it's not real and there isn't actually a sleeping baby behind the bedroom door but I do think it's a bit irresponsible to imply it is happening considering how many people watch the programme. I would have thought popular soaps would be a good platform to educate people on issues like Safe Sleep as opposed to showing behaviours that are deemed to be unsafe and a risk factor for SIDS.

I feel better after getting that out

I do agree but they are all like that aren't they.
Someone has a baby and about 2 days later they are back in their job or out on the lash with full makeup, hair done and non-leaking boobs.
And often no mention of where said baby is!
There is a bank of babysitters in soap land that no one ever sees!

It's like Mo in Holby City - I think she was back working within a month. I don't think I had the energy to even get off the sofa for about 8 weeks

What's wrong with putting a baby down in its room for a nap. It's what I always did. And the door was always closed partly to keep the dog out and partly because dd wouldn't sleep other wise.

I'm almost 7 months in with my second. Got back to brushing my hair in the last week or so. Real life .

It always bothers me as well.
If they put a moses basket somewhere in the room they are in they could angle it so the baby isn't seen.
I'm assuming it's because the baby can't "work" for long?

Coronation Street et al suck IMHO
