@katrina2017 I wouldn't say waiting 3 minutes of crying is "sleep training". I'd so most people are waiting much longer than that.

@fassy Ok so wait a tiny bit to see if they find their lovey and if they don’t then console them. That’s not what people are doing tho. They are letting them cry even if they lovey isn’t found or doesn’t work.

@loadedcafe The pain I’m referring to is the literal crying the baby has to do because you don’t console them.

@fassy I definitely don’t think it’s good for a baby to cry and be ignored. They slowly learn how to put themselves back to sleep without crying naturally with age and as their brain evolves. My 3 year old and 5 year old sleep just fine. It’s not like they won’t learn how to sleep if you don’t...

@loadedcafe You don't think that baby cares whether or not you console them when they are crying? Or are you saying they do care but won't care when they are older so the improved sleep for me is worth the babies pain since they won't remember it when they are older?

@fassy I agree children need to sleep. I don't agree that the best way to put them back to sleep is by letting them cry. They are crying for a reason. They need mommy or daddy. I would not want them to think we are ignoring them, that is mean. We either console them or give them milk and they go...

@truthalwaystold You won't be sleep deprived if you just wake up and breast feed the baby. I didn't say they would be in therapy. I just said it's mean.

@alex4u Eventually what has to happen either way?

@alex4u I think it's mean to ignore your child crying. They are saying "mommy and daddy, I need help!". They are just babies, not adults.

@seosmooze Exactly.

@carra They will learn this naturally as they get older like our kids have. Our 3 and 5 year old sleep through the night just fine and we never let them cry it out. We are very happy we didn't ignore them. Our sleep getting interrupted did not hurt anyone besides us just being a little more...

@carra Some people like myself don’t think it’s nice or good for the kid to ignore their crying.
