First babies? Or subsequent babies?
Both, I guess.

How long is a bit?
A few minutes.
(I should add that, as a toddler, I let her fuss if she's just being fussy. If she's actually upset, she gets picked up and comforted. It's pretty easy to tell the difference between whinging and sorrow.)
I have a loose tooth. Since I am no longer 6, this is a bad sign.
Hah - a trick questions. First babies? Or subsequent babies?
Yeah, for a brief moment I wished I had kids, so I could answer, "I was 32 when I started doing that."
Dental~ma, Ginger.
Good point, WindSparrow. I'd say I was 23...

Oh, that makes perfect sense.
I'm just trying to get some sense of other people's experiences so I can better understand what my brother and sister-in-law are currently going through.
PMM, did you have a sling that you really used/liked?
Good point, WindSparrow. I'd say I was 23...
Oh, you people.
vw, when I was a lot younger, I was at some kind of talk, given by a nurse and childcare expert. She said that when you have put the baby down in the crib for the night, and you get woken up because baby is crying - the thing to do is go wash your hands really thoroughly. First, you should always wash hands before touching the baby (although I do wonder how true that is, considering how much modern anti-bacterial hygiene may be playing a part in the increased incidences of severe allergies). Second, because at least part of the time, the baby will have soothing him or herself back to sleep in that short amount of time, and you can just go back to sleep yourself. Perhaps that would be a good strategy for them.
ETA: Oooh, a Get Smart double-slut. Also...
Oh, you people.
Grins angelically. Just trying to be a blessing.
