Is it bad of me??

Poor thing ~ I would let her sleep as well ... are they not concerned as to 'why' she did not sleep all night?

I wondered the same thing. I believe she is teething so badly but they don't believe in giving her anything for the pain....just her "amber necklace" that doesn't do CRAP! this baby is still pink cheeks, drooling all over, gumming anything she can get into her mouth etc. Dad said at one point she was up at 2am and didn't cry but was awake so he couldn't sleep...

I told him put her in her crib, make sure she's safe and YOU go to sleep! If SHE doesn't want to sleep fine but why are you awake just staring at her? NO....If it were me I'd close the lights and if she was quiet then so be it! it's BED time not play time. They "spoil" her to no end....and some people say "oh they're first time parents" I HATE that excuse. I'm a first time parent too and I don't let my kid run the house or allow them to do what they want when they want.

Yes...the sleep thing...it's a tough one for some parents. I have an 18 month old in my care who routinely wakes up in the night...and is sometimes up for hours...his parents are exhausted and he needs two naps a day still because he is too! I think some people just cannot seem to get sleep to happen for their babies...I am not a huge advocate of crying it out in the middle of the night...my kids always came into bed with me when they woke up, but then we would all go back to sleep. They grew out of it on their own and slept fully in their own beds by 18 months with no waking up. BUT, if I had a child who was still keeping me awake that much at 18 months, I think I would have to let them cry it out. The teething excuse I have always found a bit dubious...yes, the do get pain from teeth coming in or irritability, but it cannot be used as the excuse every time they cry or won't sleep...they learn how to manipulate us early on!
