So today I let Kory cry it out.
It wasn’t nice for either of us and I won’t be doing it again.
I understand peoples reasons for doing it and it may work for some but it didn’t work for us, all it did was make Kory more upset and me feel terrible. When my child cries it’s because he needs me, I don’t then want to ignore him, to me all that’s showing him is that when he needs me I’m not there for him.
Kory is much happier now that I’ve given him a cuddle and let him settle down.
P.S. I’m not in any way saying that you shouldn’t let your child cry it out, if that’s what works for you – brilliant!
It just didn’t work for us.

Hi, I'm Kirsti-Marie but you can call me Kirsti, Kirst, Kir - whichever. Welcome to my blog ‘Life as The Lonsdales’ where I talk about motherhood struggles, honest parenting and everything in between. I started blogging on Instagram just for fun but after a while I decided I wanted to get more serious about blogging and that’s when I started using Wordpress. I am engaged to my long term partner, Rory. We have been together since we were kids. I am a first time mum to my beautiful son, his name is Kory and I’m mum to our fur babies, we have 2 cats and 1 dog. If you follow my blog, you'll be hearing a lot more about me, Kory our family and what we get up to. Other than being a mum, I enjoy reading, anything arts and crafts, blogging (obviously), gaming and shopping. Sorry if you were hoping for something a bit more interesting - I'm actually rather boring! If you'd like to know more about me or my blog, feel free to contact me.
Kirsti, xo
