And then I'm sure everyone knows of a baby, somewhere in the family, that slept in the carrycot under the table at someone's wedding goin on in full swing...I thought to myself...by 4 months old (sleep regression time) my baby had more than outgrown her carrycot by quite a few weeks. Thus, said baby in said carrycot must've been only a few weeks old at the time. MOST newborns sleep through anything (unless colicy or sommat, of course) they're programmed to sleep 20hrs per day until about 8weeks.
To The WWWY, we said we won't be the kind of household to go: Ssshhhhh, baby's sleeping! But as it stands, during daytime it's only really myself, dd and the 2 cats, so by default, dd got used to quiet. Why would I go stomping round the house, screaming like a banshee...just so baby can "sleep thru anything". We're not shhing because dd's asleep, we're just a naturally quiet household, like yours.
Hensolo, I'd blow my top! How effing inconsiderate. However, I do remember having people come to lay new carpets and dd falling asleep whilst they were hammering away. One lad came downstairs n said fair play, you got her to sleep inspite of all the noise. I remember being so proud..........dd was 6 weeks old at the time!
Knittedfairies, dh kissed dd last nite when he came to bed. Same thing he's done for the past 5 months. Her eyes shot open and she refused to go back to sleep for 2hrs! He felt bad and said he's never kissing her ever again haha.
Fortheloveofjames, or when they say: she's crying because you're forcing her to sleep, if you just leave her, she'll naturally sleep when she's tired 
Worst of all, these comments usually come from someone who's got (grown up) kids of their own. How quickly they forget!
