[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do other countries worry about"sleep training" their babies like we do in America? Or are we just so worried about getting our own privacy and space back that we insist on trying to control and perfect our babies' sleep routines so they become as little of an "inconvenience" to us as possible? I don't know the answer to that question, but it sure seems like we put an awful lot of energy into how to train our babies to sleep on their own rather than just following our parenting instincts and babies' cues. If your baby needs you, he/she will cry. Go to the baby and meet her needs. Seems pretty simple to me. Yes, I am a little sleep deprived with my 3 month old who still wakes up needing me at night, but that's part of becoming a parent. I wish people would stop obsessing about training methods and letting babies CIO when their instincts tell them otherwise. It seems like a lot of intellectualizing of a fairly basic issue.[/quote]

I agree with this. I have a 2 year old and I have never let him cry it out. If he is complaining and whining - fine. But I would never let my child scream until he vomited. I don't let him scream at all, really. No one taught me this and I did not read it in a book. I just go by my instincts. I feel good about it and it does not cause me stress.
