So because you did IVF we should all be having babies non stop even if we're not managing and falling apart and we should leave them to cry themselves to sleep? I don't get the correlation between your IVF and taking BC when we're not functioning.

Dr. Sears is not a reliable source. If you have a kid that can go to sleep without cio then just appreciate what you have instead of shaming other moms. You know why I had to use cio for my oldest? Because at the time my husband got into an accident and needed to be in a wheelchair. My husband needed to get up at nights and didn't want to wake the baby. You can't always predict the future. Meanwhile the one kid I didn't allow to cry is the worst sleeper and after trying everything else for almost three years, I'm considering starting cio with him. Not every child needs it, use it as a last resort.

I say this as someone who did not do “cry it out” as you describe it, but a “gentler” form. I stand by the notion that all forms of sleep training are a form of cry it out. Essentially the baby gives up and goes to sleep. A little less crying, a little more crying, with the parent, without the parent. Maybe it makes something of a difference, I don’t think the difference is significant enough.
No, the conflict in this thread is about mothers who think they’re kinder and better because they wouldn’t allow their baby who they birthed to cry, versus mothers who are absolutely desperate for sleep and are willing to make the compromises. I say this as a trauma informed, attachment informed, emotionally aware and attuned parent. I have zero shame about doing what I need to for my household to function well for everyone involved. No mother should dare imply whether I’m ready for more children, or if I’m fit to be a mother.
The jury is out on the long term effects of sleep training. If that weren’t the case we wouldn’t be having this discussion. In the meantime, trust your instincts, your own research, and your own self-knowledge and not a bunch of anonymous sanctimonious naysayers on the internet. The AAP has conducted studies on sleep training and supports it; if you consider them a bunch of “old-fashioned pediatricians,” take that up with them and not mothers who are doing the best they can with the information they have. |
There are other methods of sleep training besides for CIO. If we do sleep train, we should use the most gentle method as possible. It may involve some crying, but baby see's mom there and is being soothed.

My babies always got much more upset when I came in with them and didn’t pick them up and feed them. Went from normal crying to shrieking.

We are functioning. We do CIO for two - three nights and then our babies sleep. And we are not sleeping during those hours when baby cries. We are crying and praying that baby should learn how to happily and comfortably sleep.

Yeah. I don't allow endless crying and especially not if it's desperate shrieking. When I decide that the bedtime has failed, I go in and quietly nurse.
I don't get the idea of just going and hanging out with the baby. I guess that would work for some. I'm pretty sure I've never had a baby fall asleep by themself with me in the room. Unless I was lying down and even that was a struggle. I'm too distracting.

I would never let any of my babies cry.
I always nursed to sleep. And once I stopped nursing them I lay with them until they fall asleep.
Eventually they dont need me to lay with them anymore, 3- 4 years old.

Me too. I hate getting up at night, I feel it's safe to co-sleep under my circumstances, and that way we both fall quickly back to sleep.

I once almost rolled over onto my baby. (To me, risk of suffocation ch’v is worse than CIO.) I also cannot sleep with a baby in my bed because my babies somehow take up ALL the space.

I've never heard of a dayan that doesn't allow BC for a mom that's falling apart. Even the most extreme dayan will allow it.
I wonder if anyone would ask a sheila about letting a baby cry themselves to sleep and what the answer would be.

Hahaha they totally do. But when I pick up a hungry, closed-eyes baby in the middle of the night, it's not that bad. When I hang out with the baby in the morning and turn away from him, he rolls himself until he's pressing into my back lolol.

You turned away from your baby for sleep? You're not supposed to do that. Look up the Safe Sleep Seven. It's biologically normal to sleep with baby and it works. I don't understand all the science but it does. I only turn over when I'm awake and I check on the baby frequently as sometimes he does try to get himself into trouble. I do it because I'm not ready to get out of bed yet and my left side needs some air.
Sorry for laughing.

When I am sleeping I have no control over my body. I was in such a deep sleep, and I rolled over and was about to roll onto my baby when I miraculously thank You HaShem woke up.

I always find that you become ingrained to sleep on 1 side of the bed.
I Always put the baby near the wall. and it's the same way I dont roll off my bed..

45% are Anti-Cry it Out and Pro-Vaccine.
So it appears there is a correlation.
Being Anti-Cry-It-Out and Pro-Vaccine is following the mainstream "expert" opinions.

NO NO NO.
I'm anti cio because it doesn't feel right to my yiddishe mother's heart. And it's considered safe in the medical world. Pro vax because that's the only way to protect the vulnerable population.

I'll tell you the correlation. I think babies are precious souls that need proper attention, from a loving mom that slept well. I did not say you or anyone else should or shouldn't take BC. I said to another amothers that they shouldn't tell women to go on BC because they decided them unhealthy for asking for sleep training tips.
