So I'm in this group on facebook for breastfeeding support... A lot of the women are all about attachment parenting, and that's fine, I do some stuff that would be considered attachment parenting... but this one post really flooored me.... "So at a loss right now. My friend is over with his 3 month old baby boy. Now I do not let my six month old daughter cry for any reason unless I happen to go pee and come back and she's been fussing for a few on her own but never let her get actual tears. Anyways he's been here for like three hours and his poor baby just keeps crying and he just lets him lay there. I tried to pick him up but he says not to he needs to develop his lungs and I dont wanna spoil him. It is seriously breaking my heart! Even my daughter is kinda looking at him like whats wrong with him then she looks at me with concern in her eyes which I may be mistaken on that but it really seems that way. I just dont know what I should do. I said to him ya know you cant spoil him right now he just needs you even if its just to be held and he just kinda shrugged it off. Should I just leave it alone or? I hate it. Hes such a little guy and he just got custody so im not sure if he just doesnt have a like a mothering instinct or not." So I obviously don't think it's right that he let his baby cry for that long, especially at that age, but really, your 6 month old looked at him with concerning eyes? uhhhh... and how in hell do you not allow your baby to cry ever!?! no tears.... ever?!?! REALLY?!? Sorry if I offended anyone, but I found that really unbelievable!
