do you pick up the baby every time he cries? my baby is only 7 weeks old and really loves being held.. I let him cry it out once and he didn't stop and I felt like a terrible person 😢😢
Yes I never let my son cry it out unless I know why and at his age I know if he really is crying but honestly just started doing it more when he turned a year. I'm a huge cuddler with him
crying it out has no medical benefit for their lungs. babies need to feel safe. crying is the only way they can communicate. babies do not learn manipulation until 6+ months so when they cry it's for a need to be met. letting them cry it out is not a good thing in my opinion. it causes the stress hormone in their brains to sky rocket.
I let my son cry it out. Picking him up everytime he cried when he was a few months got him use to it. Theres nothing wrong with letting them cry. Its good for their lungs. Hes 11 months and still screams until we pick him up. I walk away. He eventually stops walks over to me and lays down and is relaxed.
