I am worried that people take GF too far. I'm not against her ideas at all - I have used lots of them to establish a routine and turned to her many times to address feeding and sleeping problems. I have also used cc to great effect. However I worry that GF doesnt talk enough about the emotional needs of babies so that the smallest deviation in sleep causes us to panic. It seems perfectly normal to me that babies vary in their sleep patterns just like adults! I dont know many adults that sleep the same hours night after night without waking. I think she encourages parents to think too 'programatically' about babies' sleep and loose faith too quickly (just got disturbed from this coz mine woke up!). It upsets me when I read about parents of GF babies worrying about going to their children at night after sudden waking incase they create a bad pattern or thinking of cc after a couple of bad nights. Of course when wakefulness persists we all need to do something and I've been through this many times. But sometimes all thats needed is a few cuddles and a bit of reassurance and not a complete re-think of the whole routine. Is anyone with me or am I just taking her too seriously??
