- you must have very laid back dbs. Mine occasionally gets hysterical if someone in the room sneezes. I don't feel the need to rush to him when that happens, although i will try to distract him.

- Sounds like you are blessed with quiet babies. I think some are just fussier than others, and going to them all the time really does not help.

        I get what you are saying. But in my experience there are some kids who have a hard time self soothing and letting them cry for a bit (not long) is the way to good sleep habits

        ^^^also, I remember sitting there with my screaming infant... she had been screaming for 2.5 hours with no break... and I had to just put her down and walk away for 5 minutes for my own sanity. hellish.

- What is wrong with women who can't wrap their minds around the fact that all babies aren't the same? I had three babies with three totally different temperaments. Hate to burst your bubble OP, but you are not parent of the year. Just lucky.

- Well then I guess you are just the best parent ever. Although my guess is that there are parenting choices you make that others would find horrible.
