Finding ababysittercan be hard.
In fact, one survey found that 69% of parentssaythat good babysitters are hard to find.
This mother refused to leave her babywith her SIL.
Mostly because the youngster said she didnt believe babies could feel anything at that stage.
She did, interestingly, get offended when the parents refused her the babysitting job.
Not sure whether she was too harsh, the motherdecidedto check in with the Internet.
Read our short conversation with the OP below!
She tells us that her mother-in-law finally took her side.
My MIL has finally come around, the OP says.
Jane is still being extremely stubborn and refuses to speak to anyone now, the author goes on.
I hope she understands one day.
Its understandable why they dont see eye to eye: the OP wouldnt feel comfortable ignoring a babys cries.
I believe that babies cannot be spoiled, and responding to their cries is extremely important.

Doctors say that the causes of colic the prolonged crying and fussiness of a healthy baby are still unexplained.
Other possible causes are an early form of childhood migraine or family stress and anxiety.
The good news for parents is that babies outgrow colic.
It usuallystartswhen the newborn is 2-5 weeks old and goes on until theyre about 3-4 months old.
So, technically, the sister-in-law isnt correct when she says that babies cry for no reason.
If she meant colic, doctors and scientists havent yet found a definitive explanation for it.
But most do agree that its definitely a thing.
Some parents believe that letting an infant cry it out can be an effective self-soothing technique.

He suggests that letting a baby cry for a few minutes can help them self-soothe.
In fact, experts say that the middle ground in this debate is a parents best bet.
