am I a bad mom for letting my girls cry themselves back to sleep now? they've been fed and changed within the past 10 mins and my grandparents want to pick them up but I told them not to just let them cry it out. I feel like a bad mom for doing this but they have gotten so spoiled and expect to be picked up everytime they cry....yes I understand they could be hungry but they just had 4oz of formula a piece so ik they aren't hungry because they won't take the bottle any more. does this make me a bad mom?

No. Absolutely not. SOME people think it's bad to let them cry... but honestly, it's bad to pick them up every time they do cry... it spoils them... my cousin does that shit to her kid, and her kid is a complete brat...

I feel horrible for letting them cry though :-( @ashleyrdz

absolutely not. it helps grow their lungs more. when my oldest used to cry and I knew there was nothing I could do, I would let cry her self to sleep. I have done it many times.

How long do they usually cry before going back to sleep?

I kno its hard to do but its not like your neglecting them like @rachelmariecroxton says it will spoil them if you do pick them up everytime they cry theyre feed, changed, burped and in clean clothes right? Theyre fine and your gonna be okay too. if you get in the habbit of picking them uo everytime it will get to where you cant put them down at all!!

Yes they have been changed fed and are in their little Christmas sleepers lol....They're sleeping right now but ik when they wake back up and start crying in 10 mins I'll have to resist picking them up myself.

Haha yeah when I'm taking care of one and my grandparents have the other sometimes I think omg this would be so much easier if you weren't a little clone lol but I love my girls to death and wouldn't trade them for nothing in this world. @ashleyrdz

No your not a bad mom at all!! Sometimes I have to let my daughter cry it out too, I feel bad but sometimes when nothing else is wrong Thts what yu gotta do. Otherwise, they will start to get used to being picked up all the time nd tht ain't fun cuz all they will want is to be held constantly. Yur a great mom dnt feel bad.
