Seriously. Every time someone posts that they let their baby CIO (or something similar), other boards come over here and do these huge, dramatic PSAs. Most of us DON'T do these things and don't need the PSA. As you can see from the post below, a lot of 0-3ers got up in arms about countrymom letting her baby CIO. Clearly we know. Thanks but no thanks.

Just because YOU don't need the PSA that does not mean that others won't benefit from it. Your own words that "most" do not CIO a newborn but most does not equal all. Had people not been dramatic about it, countrymom would not have known why it was wrong and how there are other options.

Also...get over the board jumping now because a) it's a useless argument and b) it's not going to end.

We don't think you are all idiots, but when someone sees something that wrong going on, it's hard not to comment. Everyone does it on every board.

P.S. I have to agree with the above poster you siggy is absolutely adorable (and no I'm not trying to suck up. I miss my DS being that little.)

I think people with older babies like to come over to tell 0-3'ers that CIO is not okay for babies this age, but it's fine for their babies who are older. And how awesome they were at handling the newborn stage now that they're past it. Neener neener neeeeener! Stick out tongue

I love board jumpers. I'm not concerned about that. I'm just annoyed that it's assumed we need the PSA. We can handle our own shiz, thanks.

Wow. Mature. I don't do CIO and won't because I don't believe in it. My DS's newborn stage was awful and I cried right there with him. Way to generalize.

SB didn't you know? Newborns are going to cry! I know you didn't know this before today but now you do so try harder!

I agree, it's hard not to comment. I have been known to comment on drama on tri boards and anywhere else when I know what I'm saying. I just don't think it's necessary to tell us 'newborns cry' in a completely separate post.

And thanks, and thanks mrsh too!

sbevmc09 · April 2010

I didn't realize that I mentioned you specifically. Sorry about that.

Oh Wait... I didn't.

urbanwifey · April 2010

I NEVER click on anything that starts with PSA because I know that whatever follows is going to make me vurp.

I'm a huge board jumper. I don't think there is ANYTHING wrong with it.

But posting a PSA is condescending. Let the board handle their own sh!t. Comment on posts, but posting a PSA is basically saying you think most of the board doesn't know what they are talking about.

LMAO! I royally sucked at the newborn stage. I sat around trying to figure out who I needed to give my baby to, not because I didn't love her, but because I felt completely inadequate to the job of actually raising her. I will never in my life try to pretend I was awesome at the newborn stage! The newborn stage is f*cking HARD.

MrsRebecca · April 2010

I agree and I think some people need to learn the difference between CIO and letting baby cry for the 2 minutes you're in the bathroom.

That being said...I firmly believe there are a lot more people doing CIO with newborns than one might think. So if a broad PSA will save ONE baby from CIO then I'm okay with it. I know it doesn't apply to me, so I skip over it.

This. A PSA on something we might not know is helpful and welcome. Something like this is pointless because it's obviously been taken care of by other posts. That and you can't tell me that telling us that newborns cry isn't condescending. We're the ones still in that stage. I think we know by now that that's what the sound is that's coming from their open mouths...
