Please dont "train" your baby!

To my boys...you are my life, not an inconvenience..I am your teacher not your trainer...I will love you no matter what ♥ xxx

I wrote that after reading about babies who are left to cry for hours because someone had told their mum that babies need to learn how to sleep and the only way you can do that is if you ignore their cries :( Baby trainers have a very harsh approach to how babies should sleep! Why can an adult be loved and cuddle to sleep yet a beautiful baby who cannot talk and only way of communicating is through crying is left to sob their little hearts out to sleep!

What ever happened to trusting ourselves? Why don't we trust that we can do a great job, why do people write books about sleep that tells us to go against every nerve in our body, why don't we believe that our babies wont be spoiled if we care and love for them how we feel we should! Why do we listen to people who are preying on sleep deprived parents with their quick fixing books which cause more harm than good!

They are only babies for a second and how we raise them and love for them impact them for the rest of their lives!

I really think every new parent should read the Science of Parenting or any of Pinky Mckays books!

LOVE is the most important thing <3
