4 month old- cry it out? (Short periods?)

[Anonymous]

NO! You do not let an infant that young "cry it out"!!! The infant has no object permanence and does not know you are in the next room - he believes you have vanished.

This sleep training shit is going way too far! Yes, new parents lose sleep. If you cannot handle it, you should not have become parents in the first place.

Sorry, sweetie. I sleep trained my child starting from two weeks after I brought him home. He started sleeping through the night at six weeks.

You aren't in charge of saying what good parenting is. I say, a family that sleeps well is healthy and wise.

This. I don't think I'd go full extinction, but let her fuss for a little. It's ok for them to fuss and cry a little. If it bothers you too much, stop doing it. But the only way to see if she'll sleep in the crib after some fussing is to TRY IT.

That's not sleep training, that's dumb luck.

All of you who are against letting a baby cry for a few minutes must only have one child. My 4-month-old cries by necessity sometimes when I'm busy with his older sibling.

Nope. Not at all. Think that if you like, but I know it was all about the training.

Exactly! I've read that single mothers also have good sleepers. They can't afford to run to every whimper.
