Suddenly, Tyler is screaming. Screaming. Tyler’s screams could pierce through the din of any commercial. They could break glass. Gabriel sits up with a start, his heart racing.

Well, we try it, but the Cruzbots never self-soothe.
“Cry It Out” is a form of child abuse tailored to appeal to narcissistic adolescents who want to pretend to be “parents.” This ranks with abortion and schools among the greatest evils that are destroying children.
The “cry it out” period never lasted for more than three evenings in my experience.

If a screaming abused child doesn’t arouse your interest, I suggest you see a psychiatrist, or an exorcist.
In other words, it took only three evenings to break your relationship with your child and set him up for a life of detachment and depression. Congratulations.
How about reading the article before posting a superficial, meaningless “refutation” of it?
Never heard of it before. I grew up in the era of stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about.
I have a 6 month old (late in life miracle baby) and we go round and round with my inlaws about ‘cry it out’. we oppose it. They think we are ‘spoiling’ her.
For those who support cry it out look at it this way. How would you feel if crying/screaming was the only way you could communicate your needs and then your needs were ignored?

Your spouse needs to tell his/her parents to back off. It’s your child. You decide. End of story. Me, I carried and nursed my babies until they were old enough to unbutton my blouse and name my boobs. By then they were walking so it was time to quit. Given plenty of food they didn’t seem to mind.
Nursing is another issue we have. DD is allergic to formula (the Dr made us try it because she wasn’t gaining as much weight as they wanted) she lost weight on the formula. So of course I am nursing, but MIL keeps pushing solid food and juice and I am surprised at how many others are surprised I am still nursing. I plan on nursing until she self weans (or like you said starts naming my boobs).
DH does tell his parents to back off but that doesn’t stop them from their refrain. I had health/feeding issues and so I was held all the time by either my mother or my grandmother. My mom couldn’t handle me crying so they didn’t do cry it out either.
#3 was our pickle. Because she shared a room with her older sister, we worried about her waking up #2. After a month of no sleep, we learned big sis can sleep through the tantrum, and the tantrums ended when #3 didn’t get her way. Granted, the tantrums started at around one year when she was weaned, not at he infancy stage.

Yep,and they are all in their fifties now.
Sorry for posting another superficial,meaningless statement. It must be very tough for folks like you-—dealing with vacuous people like me.

At 9 months, avacados are the perfect first food. Low allergy issues + high in fat = mommy’s best friend. It freezes well after puréed.
It isn’t just torture for the baby. It causes PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE.
According to the article, 40% OF BABIES ARE BEING ABUSED this way.
Look at the way people are leaping to the defense of child abuse on this thread.
We have her on limited solids, and introduce slowly watching for allergies. She LOVES carrots, and beef and veggies. She likes pears alright, won’t touch sweet potatoes or apples (both are allergies hubby has). we have given her small tastes of avocado and she likes them pretty well. She was born a foodie. She screams if we are eating and she doesn’t get a taste. At 24 hours old she woke up because hubby walked into my hospital room with Gyros and she smelled them.
You need to tell them to shut up or you will not see them. You must give them a choice—an ultimatum. Their behavior is abusive.
The article is not about tantrums. It is about the systematic abuse of babies.
Purée carrots with olive oil and watch babycakes go nuts! Add a little parm in a few months and she’ll be in heaven.
