[quote=Anonymous]You know, I started out rocking my newborn constantly. When she was a couple days old, and she and I were both crying in the rocker, my mom said: sometimes babies just need to fuss. She took the baby and swaddled her and laid her down and said just wait 5 minutes. At the end of 5 minutes she was clearly winding down, so I left her and she slept. After that, I just waited. We never had a huge CIO because when she was tiny, I taught her to sleep. Babies cry. It isn't the end of the world. The mythical cultures you talk about never letting babies cry are backwards and undeveloped. I don't know that I'd look for parenting advice from someone who lives with a dirt floor and eats donated food---or from a culture that kills off girl babies in utero. [/quote]
