I don't buy the new research either. Babyfood still states from 4 month and if people want to feed their babies from four month they can. People wean early for all sorts of medical reasons, the last thing they need is the same people trashing every thread stating their poin over and over again."
Yes, of course, because babyfood companies have nothing to gain from getting us to wean our babies earlier, as opposed to scientists and researchers who will gain, er, something from us weaning later.

Deeper sleep patterns are thought to be connected with SIDS. I'm ignoring the idiotic statement on the end of that post.

i am not 100% on the controlled crying but its something lke you leave them to cry for a while, then pick them up and comfort them for a short while and put them back down again! Something like that.
I manage to get into him before the crying starts and get the dummy back in and that normally holds off the crying."
Someone recommending controlled crying, then swiftly goes on to explain PUPD as a guess. But as long as they hug each other then that's just great. No harm done......
Seriously, all this chatter about "the olden days" and guidelines being new....why are they on an internet forum in the first place? It's a pretty new thing - newer than guidelines. Why do they need it? Perhaps if they answered that question honestly they might understand where guidelines are coming from.
