"It was just after 3am and Obakeng, our 12-week-old son, had been crying for what felt like an eternity, but it was probably only 15 or 20 minutes at the most," explains Cape Town mom Oratile.
"My husband and I had decided a few days before to move him to his bedroom, which was right next to ours, so that we could all start getting a better night's sleep."
"I wanted to rush into Obakeng's room and cuddle him back to sleep. But my husband said we needed to be firm and let him soothe himself back to sleep.
