[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm suppose to let the 6-month-old CIO but sometimes I go in there and pat him till he falls asleep.

Go ahead and tell me how much damage I'm doing for not letting him learn how to sleep independently, I can't stand to hear him scream at the top of his lungs.[/quote]

Well, if the parents are letting him CIO for naps on the weekends then you are inconsistently reinforcing a habit, which means he'll end up crying for [i]more naps[/i] then if you didn't.  Just a thought.  Caregivers either sleep train or they don't and I don't care - but don't do both.  That [b]is[/b] a bit damaging.[/quote]

I oppose CIO, when I interviewed MB and DB were 100% against the practice.  They changed when LO was about 4-months-old.  We tried, he just is a high needs child and CIO is not going to work.  I'm not going to allow him to cry for 45 minutes and make himself puke.  I just am not.  I'm honest about it.  I tell MB/DB that I can't stand it, and they kind of get upset but not made enough to fire me.  So if I'm fired for not allowing a young infant to scream till he's sweating, than so be it.[/quote]
