(from time to time) what ive read in the comments below are mostly cases of neglect and they are sad sad cases. but being a single mother of 2... a darn good mom, i can say from experience that sometimes a baby just needs to cry, they get tired, and frustrated and want nothing to do with being coddled. i know there are days when im just so tired or stressed i scream into a pillow. babys are pepole jut like me and you, and they have the same emotions. now im not saying this applys to small infants... they need all the physical attention they can get! but starting 6 months or so id say use it as needed. it is not toxic to let a baby cry it out!!!!!…..

I did that with my son and it worked well and had planned to with my daughter. However, any time I lay down to sleep with her she freaks out. I wish!

May they grow up to be the offspring you deserve. I hope your child never reads the start of this, but you sound like the sort of person, who will make sure you tell them.

I am having an awful time with my 14-month daughter. She hasn't been napping for a while now. I tried for 2.5 hours today to get her nap. She still get up 1-4 times a night and wakes up at 5am. It would be nice to know what worked for you. Can I ask what method you used? I am having an awful time with my 14-month daughter. She hasn’t been napping for a while now.

No way to communicate well, under developed comprehension, no way to control your own environment. We also know cortisol is released in tears. So if we know it's stressful being a baby, and tears help get rid of the stress, why do you appear anti letting the baby cry? The tone in your comments back to others was deplorable, acidic, and defensive. I hope your do not unleash the same on my question to you. Cate
