PROLONGED CRYING IS BAD

Letting your baby crying himself to sleep is cruel, in my opinion.
I've already stated that I like the gentle approach; listening to what your baby's cries are saying.

Sure they are quick to learn that they will get picked up if they cry. Who doesn't want a cuddle?
So my method of anticipating baby's needs BEFORE they get going with the complaining, is always the best .. and they don't learn that crying means that they will get picked up.

I have to say; if ever I have had a baby who cries a lot, then they are trying to communicate something to me.
LISTEN to them, try to understand what they are telling you. It's the only way they can talk to you.

The evidence is, that prolonged crying will damage your baby.
