[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean the baby is sobbing because they are exhausted and can’t sleep. That has made me want to sob too! Have some compassion and let your baby fall asleep and get a good nights rest. [/quote] Are you under the impression that parents who don't CIO are taking their babies out to bars or making them watch Kubrick movies instead of "letting them sleep"? Soothing your child when they cry does not stop them from falling asleep. It facilitates their sleep. It disrupts the adults' sleep, but you can greatly mitigate this by sleeping near your baby and adapting your own sleeping routines to accommodate your newborn until they STTN. Like going to bed early, avoiding alcohol and caffeine, and managing your stress well. You just do this for 6 months or so, it's not a huge sacrifice! And then you, too, can give your child the "gift of sleep" without having to listen to them scream and sob until they pass out.[/quote]
