[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is because you are biologically wired to help your child when he or she is crying, which is one of the many reasons CIO is NOT recommended and can cause brain damage.[/quote] The only study on crying and brain damage was on abused neglected children in an orphanage. Normal sleep training which involves crying such as Ferber is usually done by caring parents who want to have well-rested children (and be rested in order to parent) who are responsive, meet their child's needs, and most importantly provide tons of love. The most recent sleep training study out of Australia said that both "camping out" (sitting in the room during sleep training) and Ferber did not have any ill effects. As a study it too had flaws, but not nearly so many as the orphanage one.[/quote]
