Not until I became a mom that I found out some babies cry more than others and that most (if not all) babies use crying as a self-soothing method. Shoot, I use it as a self-soothing method!!! Ever want to just have a good cry just because? <br /><br />And, thanks for coming by and letting me know the true deal on the Moby Wrap. I still think it's kind of bulky, but if it does the job then who cares.<br /><br />Blessings to you! Your family is ADORABLE! You certainly don't look old enough to have three kids.daniellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04620965812112645981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738662907389797441.post-5858808069473276882009-07-12T22:45:39.306-05:002009-07-12T22:45:39.306-05:00Oh my.

I get so many stares when Calet is pitching her 2 yr old fits and wailing. What, you want me to give in and give her what she wants because she is crying? I don't think so! Go ahead and hate me for ruining your perfect shopping atmosphere. But a baby is another thing entirely. Hello! Babies cry! That's what they do! When Calet was born we told the boys that all she's going to do is eat, sleep, poop and cry. <br /><br />I'm so glad you said something.

You did the right thing-you know your baby better than anyone. Never forget that!Mom to the 3rd Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08528307743015687010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738662907389797441.post-89449270315218646772009-07-10T05:20:02.044-05:002009-07-10T05:20:02.044-05:00Oh, I'm a believer in letting kids cry.

I also let my kids cry themselves to sleep to sleep train.

I feel like everyone judges mom's when their kids cry in public, like we have a magic potion to give them that makes them quiet just for their benefit. <br /><br />WE recently took Jack out dinner and Dad accidentally forgot his bottle of milk in the car. While we were searching the diaper bag, Jack was pissed and letting us know it. I actually got up and walked his into the bathroom because I could feel the stares!Kirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803196162091771523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738662907389797441.post-78441557500441649082009-07-09T15:37:35.287-05:002009-07-09T15:37:35.287-05:00I would have done the exact same thing.

He cant stand the crying, and I dont tend give in to it.<br /><br />The salesperson obviously hasnt been around babies. And even so, it was not her place to say anything to you. <br /><br />I'm so sorry that happened. It's never fun being the mom with the crying baby and to have someone make that comment gets our mommy guilt really going. (I had a similar thing happen in a restaurant, only it was a customer who made a rude comment. and actually asked the manager to have us banned from the restaurant! it was beyond ridiculous.)--Leann--https://www.blogger.com/profile/04487425321366655641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738662907389797441.post-68887416499233614572009-07-09T15:08:04.514-05:002009-07-09T15:08:04.514-05:00Holy freak!

A lot of times I just let Jenna cry. I think sometimes trying to get her to stop just makes it all worse. And yes, I would have definitely told a manager too. I can't believe she said that to you!!!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13847045469273096618noreply@blogger.com
