[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP whose baby hardly ever cries. Whoever said I was probably a FTM was right, and I'm sorry if I came off sounding like a jerk. I see so many threads about sleep training and CIO and leaving your kid to scream for 2 (or 4 or 6) hours and it makes me feel really defensive, like somehow I am doing something wrong because I don't leave my child to cry. I feel very wrongly that she shouldn't have to feel in distress if it is not necessary, so I do whatever I can to make her happy. I get the impression from some of you that that makes me a bad parent, hence the defensiveness.

Do what works for you and your child. If you don't want to let them cry for a second, don't feel like it makes you any less of a parent.[/quote]

You are kind of missing the point. Nobody would ever advocate CIO just because. People do CIO because they are having terrible sleep problems. By definition, if you feel that soothing your baby at night is working for you and her, great! But the reason people CIO is because it is NOT working - and is NOT making the baby happy to be unable to sleep, either. [/quote]
