Cry It Out: The Flipside

If you have a free minute you should read this. It's called "Just Let Her Cry" by Woman Uncensored. It sums up my feelings about letting a baby cry it out perfectly. I think it's cold, unfeeling, and frequently abusive. Just because you dress it up in a nice new name (ie: sleep training) does not change the fact that you are ignoring your child's needs by letting him or her cry it out. Why? Because it's night time? Does you child suddenly not have needs because it is no longer daytime?
