Lurking over in July 13' and some horrible mother is trying to let her baby self sooth herself to sleep at 3 weeks old!! And it gets worse as I keep reading on. The post was called Baby crying help. I just can't believe how stupid someone could be. I really hope it was just MUD but this women kept justifying her ways and saying her and her husband need sleep. Are you kidding me!!

"If you're still my small babe
or you're all the way grown,
my promise to you
is you're never alone.
You are my angel, my darling,
my star...and my love will find you,
wherever you are."
It just makes me sick to my stomach to think that there are people out there that actually do this to their babies. I really hope someone reports her if it was real.
Gross.
I refused to let my kids "self sooth" in any way until they were at least a year old.

Sooooo many horrible things... It has to be MUD.
And her baby is named HarlaStar? Anyone catch that?
I really, really hope it's not real. I was reading prim's post, and someone in that thread mentioned hoping to find her IP address and report her to authorities. Does anyone know if this is possible? Can the bump moderators see their IP address? I am not computer-saavy enough, but I am REALLY hoping that if it is real, CPS will be at their door ASAP.
This is why I pointed out the name, and I tried to google a few versions of Harla Star hoping to find a facebook page or something. I'm not that good at internet stalking. Could the baby's unusual name help track her down? Sorry, I should have mentioned that in my previous post.
I just asked my DH about the moderators being able to get the IP address and he said they can. (I don't know about like the BMB mods, I don't really know how the forum works, but SOMEONE can see the IP address), so now we just need to figure out who and get them to look into it? I sent DH the link and he's a computer geek, I'm really hoping he can figure out something...
I'm a terrible internet stalker so I'm useless.
she's not feeding her through the night!she thinks a bottle before bed is enough! from like 7 or 8 pm until 7 am!
Thank you for getting you DH to see what he can find out.
I really hope this is MUD.
Sadly, there are people who are that stupid who do procreate. I hope, if she is real, the responses she receives educate her into better caring for her baby.
She may have a dumb social circle, who are giving her terrible advice. I've heard everything from "give the baby rice cereal the first night home and they'll sleep through the night" to "when the baby start teething, put scotch on the gums" from ignorant parents.
I have a hard time believing the baby is fed though? Maybe I misunderstood? It sounded like she was giving her cereal to "make it through the night"? I sent the thread to DH and that's how he interpreted it as well.
i had the same reaction until i read it. im all for cio at appropriate ages but even then i would not allow my child to scream for hours on end! then i got to the feeding part and had to quit reading
You must have missed the part where she is starving her kid at night.
yea she admitted already that she hadn't read through it.

They would look past the fact that the baby is only being fed once during the night?
ETA didn't see your other post saying you read the rest!
