Once again, re-read my post above and there is no need to attack me personally. I didnt attack you by the way.
I said my baby doesnt respond to sleep training - pick up put down method that you mentioned.
I will be a grown up and apologise if I offended anyone, I didnt mean to and appreciate the advice but it didnt work for me.
But what I said is right, plus swaddling and laying babies on their side increases the risk too, it is just facts.
To be honest I feel fed up too that people imply I didnt try hard enough, who are you to judge me? I am not judging anyone
You can surely see how your post looked though, it sounded like you were personally attacking me, I thought you had a genuine problem & tried to give you advice to my best knowledge without trying to sound like a smarty pants but thats obviously how it sounded to you. It pisses me off how some ppl (not you btw) but in general ppl are so un-willing to accept any advice, I always want advice, i'm always asking for it, god sake im no perfect mother, I wouldn't think because someone gave me advice that they were being smart, im sure you must think that about me. I dont think that you didn't try hard enough, what I mean is that sometimes you think, enough is enough, LO doesn't wana go into cot i might as well give in & have them with me. Your LO will go into a cot I know you want to believe that your LO wont & I know its so so difficult but your LO will, its part of a childs development that they sleep alone, its all at different rates, but one way or the other LO's have to sleep alone at some point.
I know these subjects are always heated & we should be able to discuss the facts rather than calling the other a liar (which you did me)
I'm actually really upset tbh, I know were not all actual friends but i see you lot as my friends & it hurts coz at first it was claimed that what i had copied from the nhs website was lies & now you claimed that my LO being demanding was lies. I duno it just puts me in a downer.
Its honestly not my fault that the NHS say things about co-sleeping, please dont anyone blame me & start arguments with me about it. Its not fair, i never made anything up or said anything i only "thought" was true. Everyone else apart from 2 ppl on this thread have accepted the comments & made their own comments w/out being personal or starting a deliberate argument about it.
The bottle feeding thing hit a nerve i've had problems with my breasts for years but was determined to BF LO, not only did i have to deal with stopping BF'ing I had to also deal with changing a baby out of a habit it was in - think of this....my challenge was as tough as yours is now, because I had to do the same thing, my LO was in a routine & wouldn't change & so is yours.
