Edit: I LOVE me some CIO debate!!! Better ladies? (=
I'm so tired of the debate that's based on nothing but opinions. Let's see what Harvard has to say about it!

*A child who has their needs met completely learns to be trusting and confident. A child that is forced to be independent before they are ready learns to fear abandonment.
April 1998 huh? Couldn't find anything more recent that said what you wanted it to huh?
Did you or are you working full time, juggling kids, a career and who knows what else? If so click on the picture to share your stories!
LOL that's one way to try and deny it I guess. Oh, I'm sorry, because I'm sure the info has changed? Can you show me a more recent study (not book or method) that says that CIO doesn't cause the things this study says it does??

Hah! That's what I thought!! You are going to find experts from every corner of the world that say different things! Do what is best for you and your child, who cares what anyone else thinks!!

Oh, and by the way, I am a CIO from birth baby, and I cried myself to sleep until I was 8.
My mom would tell this cute little story "Oh, you used to tell me 'Mom, I'm going to scream a little bit and cry a little bit and then I'll go to sleep'". The neighbors even called CPS because I was screaming so loud. I HAD to in order to fall asleep, and still to this day I have to have music or tv on to fall asleep or I can't "quiet my brain" enough to!
Usually when someone is sick of a topic, they don't make a post about it. Just sayin....
Eh, I don't really care what Harvard has to say. It's my child and I wasn't okay with letting him cry it out. That's not to say that I look down on others that do the CIO method. They are a lot stronger than me. To each his own and Harvard is not raising our children.
Same here :-(
Quoting MommaToSam:This is awesome. Sometimes I wish I could go comfort the babies who are forced to CIO myself.
Because I'm sure you are more educated than Harvard researchers. You're right, I bet they're basing this on their opinions of CIO and not fact...
