I remember going to a class sponsored by my HMO at the time that was taught by a Pediatrician. I believed I could follow everything he said to the letter and be confident that I was doing the right thing. So, in the mid 1980's when the, 'Cry it Out' method was recommended to me by PeterOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17450675783887734674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-73197389120833784002012-08-24T22:37:52.748-04:002012-08-24T22:37:52.748-04:00Funny how taking care of your babies is now called...Funny how taking care of your babies is now called "attachment parenting" Everyone I know calls it being a mother!Tabathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07836256133634071645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-22727181450782390822011-10-15T02:24:24.638-04:002011-10-15T02:24:24.638-04:00Can't wait for an answer to the above question...Can't wait for an answer to the above question.

I think it is so important to create a sense of confidence and now my children are 4 and 6 they are highly independent, very happy, able to express lucidly their emotions and rationalise how they are feeling.

I think it's our natural instinct to feel distress when our child cries and it's normal to want to comfort them. I get told that he needs to be put down and it's ok for him to cry, but in my heart I know I'm doing the right thing for my child by responding Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-12568067618026281302011-08-27T22:40:24.888-04:002011-08-27T22:40:24.888-04:00WOW!

I never practice Cry-It-Out and have had several family members tell me I'm "spoiling" her because I never "let" her cry. <br /><br />Just in Jen's defense however, she did not say that her baby/child was a newborn. I have an 8 month old and co-sleep but if I "responded" every time she whimpered she would never get any sleep!

I've been trying a modified "cry it out" in that, if Jane's just whining I'll leave her but if she starts to cry, I'll respond and it seems to be working. I differentiate the two basically by tears and previous experience... during the "whine" if I respond, as soon as she sees me she starts laughing, during the cry, she's just crying Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15784752558925365185noreply@blogger.com
