dummy debate

Ive never had a problem with dummies, infact i weirdly think they (can) look quite cute. But my god, they are the bain of my life at the moment! i wanted jayden to have a dummy from the start, i stupidly thought it would make life easier, which at first it did. Jaydens always been a really happy baby, weve been very lucky. even when hes ill he still manages to smile.

When he was a new born he slept really well, fed every 4 hours on the dot pretty much for the first month or so. He then started going 6 hours at night and shortly after that went on to sleep all the way through, quite often this would be 12 hours. we were amazed and thought we had an angel not a 3 month old baby! but this soon changed, hes now almost 7 months old and wakes up countless times a night wanting his dummy. We were hoping it was just 'a stage' he was going through but its been going on for about 3 months now and im constantly drained because of it.

So, weve spoken to many other parents and everyone seems to suggest the same thing CONTROLLED CRYING. Im dreading it and i wanted to try every other thing i could think of first but nothing has worked. so i guess its time to give in and let him cry it out. Im positive this will work, its just a horrible thing for parents to go through, even when you know they arent in any pain.

fingers crossed it works.
