Details: In English. In color. On TV. We THINK Lifetime network?
Plot: Mom has a baby. Baby disappears. She is made to feel baby never existed. In one scene, she walks down hallway or staircase of her home and sees that framed photos of him have disappeared too. At some point, she hears her baby crying in the attic? Goes up to find that her husband has tricked her up there with a recording of a baby crying. He has been in on the trick all along. The movie was on TV around 2007 or 2008 but could be older.
The forgotten (2004) with julianne moore
Not The Forgotten. That’s the one everyone keeps recommending, but we’ve watched it and that’s not it.
I’ll suggest “The Crying Child” from 1996

I don’t have my usual degree of certainty. I only know that I’ve seen a movie like the one you’re describing and I’ve seen this one. It’s been too long to be sure they’re the same.
I’m told the baby disappears from her life one morning, and everyone acts like the baby boy never existed. The Crying Child involves a woman who is pretending a dead baby still exists. So, I’m sad to say not the movie we’re looking for. 🙁
