Cherry..no offense but just because your fiend had a demanding job doesn’t mean that was the only solution…I went back to work after 8 weeks n no sweetly I wasn’t functioning on a full night sleep..my baby woke up every 2-3 hours to be fed and I happily did that..my husband has been very supportive but at that time I was bfing at night time so had to get up.

I think it’s not fair to judge any mom if they did resort to this approach. My friend is on a nephrology fellowship so she has to do dialysis on very sick patients and just could not afford to be functioning on less sleep. She doesn’t have a regular 9-5 office job. Also, she tried everything before resorting to this
approach and she has no regrets. In fact she wonders why she
didn’t try it earlier because both her and her daughter are
doing a lot better now.

It’s like those breastfeeding nazis out there…breastfeeding
worked really well for me but I will never think any mom
giving her child formula is ‘lazy’. A mother does her best and you gotta do what you gotta do to make sure you and your child is happy. I know I still haven’t gotten around to letting my child cry it out because I feel terrible but I also don’t think it’s my place to judge anyone who did use this approach.
