I heard recently Dr. Ferber changed his stance on the cry it out issue-what is his new advice on this topic?

';Crying to sleep may not be the answer for all children, particularly those who suffer serious separation anxiety.';








HOWEVER, I read your other question, and, when dealing with a toddler, you have to let them have their tantrums. Babies have numerous reasons for crying harshly and unstoppably, but toddlers need to learn to be independent. They can understand the world around them, the way things interact, and what that they have to do things they don't necessarily like.I heard recently Dr. Ferber changed his stance on the cry it out issue-what is his new advice on this topic?

I would never let a baby fall asleep crying. i tried it with my first one but it didnt work, it was one of the gratest mistakes in my life, i feel ashamed because of it. i will never do it with my second. that is: she cries when I hold her and she is tired. then I put her down, and sometimes she cries one or two minutes, and then falls asleep. thats her way as we experienced it. but crying out is another thing. and: EVERY child has separation anxiousness, no matter what age. dont make him believe he has a reason to be anxious about you disappearing and ignoring him - for ever. because a ';few hours'; (or the whole night) seems like an endless time to him.


i would not treat a human being so - not even a grownup. But a baby! My own child, who I carried 9 months long in my womb. why would he want to be without me all of sudden? am i his mother only when its day, and not in the night??
