I had a bunch of people telling me of how they just put their baby in their cot and the baby fell asleep on their own. The very same people were surprised at just how much my baby was smiling and giggling, but confused that I help my baby to sleep and that we contact nap. I asked them numerous times how is it that their babies just slept, genuinely curious and desperate for advice (oh those newborn days), but they could never tell me. At first I thought that perhaps they forgot those early years, seeing as it's been decades since they have raised their children, and that their babies in fact needed at least some assistance. I'm sure there are babies that don't need to be rocked/held/fed/etc. to sleep. But I think that such a baby is a rare occurence. I've realised recently that perhaps the reason those babies went to sleep on their own was because they grew accustomed to low nurture (and crying it out). This is just a thought, not an accussation; but the genuine disbelief of some people at the sunny predisposition of my child, combined with their bewilderement at how 'dependent' my baby is on me, I started wondering.
What I am trying to say in this very confusing manner is that this is a very re-assuring read for anyone who doesn't like to hear their child cry and would do anything to comfort them, backed by research. It was somewhat repetitive and the diagrams seemed a bit dull for my liking, but it has helped me become more confident in my parenting.
