Our two tried the tantrum once possibly twice, we laughed, it didn't

M'colleague told me there's a way to stop your kid being needy. You completely ignore it crying as a baby and feed it on a schedule. It soon stops waking you up at night.

No it isn't. When they realise that crying achieves nothing, they stop doing so.

Ours got fed on demand but we made sure that the demand cry was a
real "I'm hungry" cry based partially by how long since the last feed
and partially how long that feed took (no bottles here).

I guess you respond to (read reward) your kids for every tiddly

I saw a poor kid outside in 27C heat and baking sunshine, no wind, wearing a thick jacket. Some mothers haven't a clue.

It depends on the reason for crying if it's for attention and purely for attention then the crying will stop. But the commenst reason(s) are teeth and the resulting tooth ache amonst other things.

But it can be cured by the parent or anyone else applying medication and even if there is no medication it's been proved that' kissing it better' can have the placebo effect advantage and the pain or whatever was causing crying stops it.


Why is bra singular and panties plural?

Panties, knickers and trousers were originally two separte garments that were put on and then joined, it's similar to why we say scissors because it's two scissor crossed and joined to make one tool.
