Interesting CIO article

I found this on the AP board and while I consider my personal caregiving style to be a mix of AP (Attachment Parenting) principles and more modern principles, this article has a LOT of strong points regarding a baby's need for immediate attention, especially during the first 3 months.

I found it interesting that it didn't touch STTN though. That seems to be where the biggest CIO debate lies.

    Interesting.  We still haven't tried CIO.  My pedi said not to until he is STTN.  I know he's capable of STTN b/c he's done it on more than one occasion.  (last night was not one of them!)  I still get up and nurse him and put him back to bed.  I did let him cry/fuss for about half an hour yesterday when I was trying to put him down for a nap...it did not work.  Usually he'll cry a little when I first put him down but then go to sleep in about 15 minutes. 

    My friend is pg with her 3rd boy right now.  She told me that when a baby is 8 weeks or 8 pounds they are capable of STTN and this is when she started whatever CIO method that she used.  I just couldn't do it.  That seems too young to me.

    That makes me so sad for her kids. that is NOT ok 

    Lots of babies are 8lbs at BIRTH!
