" Is it too soon to let her cry herself to sleep?"
as adults we say "im crying myself to sleep" to show the exent of our misery. We write it on suicide notes, say that to our lovers when they leave. Crying ourselves to sleep is never something that is a good thing.
Why do we assume its ok for babies? any babies, 11 weeks. 11 years?
Im 35 and i dont want to cry myself to sleep.
what is wrong with the world? i hate when Finn crys, and i know sometimes he has to, sometimes i just cannot get to him, but putting him in another room to cry himself to sleep??? what?
it hurts me to think it is ok. as adults, we dont do it. When we cry we want someone to come and comfort us, when they dont, we scream and cry that they dont care about us.
But our tiny babies... lets leave them in the dark, without even the most basic "understanding" of what is going on. that makes sense.
more soon. xx
