The cry it out method, also called extinction sleep training, is an umbrella term for any method of sleep training that involves letting a baby cry for a period of time before they go to sleep

🤔 It seems like some are getting more defensive than taking a moment to understand....
There is a difference between letting your baby cry for 5-10 mins in a safe place, so you can collect yourself and try again..... and leaving your baby in a safe place, all by themselves for HOURS, to cry out for you, for nothing.
*EXTINCTION SLEEP TRAINING? that word makes us all cringe in fear when it comes to life and death, but its okay to practice something like THIS on OUR BABIES?! SHAME ON YOU!*

Dont you know what the Flight or Flight response is?
.
If not, well I AM HAPPY TO FUCKING EDUCATE YOU:
**The fight-or-flight response (also called hyperarousal, or the acute stress response) is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival. It was first described by Walter Bradford Cannon. His theory states that animals react to threats with a general discharge of the sympathetic nervous system, preparing the animal for fighting or fleeing. More specifically, the adrenal medulla produces a hormonal cascade that results in the secretion of catecholamines, especially norepinephrine and epinephrine. The hormones estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol, as well as the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, also affect how organisms react to stress
This response is recognized as the first stage of the general adaptation syndrome that regulates stress responses among vertebrates and other organisms....
🗣
This is what is being activated in your baby EVERY TIME you leave them to cry- it is the only natural instinct they have to say, "I want you, I need you."
TRAINING THEM OUT OF THAT IS LIKE the way we think taking the bark out a dog, or declawing a cat has been OK.
.
YOU ARE CHANGING the NATURAL WAY OF THINGS- their natural defenses, something ENGRAVED within everyone...
How can you not think that MAKING someone, A BABY, go through these changes, wont have a PROFOUND affect on their brains, their chemical/hormonal makeup their future?....
When you TRAIN beings, it becomes their new way of survival... and that follows you throughout life.
.
Confused Hurt Babies learn to be Sensitive, Fragile Kids who Anxiously become Heartbroken Teens who are forced to grow into lost Adults.
It can take a LIFETIME to reprogram ourselves out of this, to become WOKE again( bc, we are born fresh, pure, WOKE)...some dont even get that chance.
LETS GIVE OUR FUTURE A CHANCE.
Because our Kids are the Future- we OWE this to them.
.
.
The following is what happens EVERY TIME the Flight or Flight response happens in the body... IN YOUR BABIES BODY every time you leave them to cry LONGER THAN IT TAKES YOU TO REGAIN YOURSELF( if you can't it is time to ask for help, from SOMEONE SOMEHOW).

The fight-or-flight response
The reaction begins in the amygdala, which triggers a neural response in the hypothalamus. The initial reaction is followed by activation of the pituitary gland and secretion of the hormone ACTH. The adrenal gland is activated almost simultaneously, via the sympathetic nervous system, and releases the hormone epinephrine. The release of chemical messengers results in the production of the hormone cortisol, which increases blood pressure, blood sugar, and suppresses the immune system. The initial response and subsequent reactions are triggered in an effort to create a boost of energy. This boost of energy is activated by epinephrine binding to liver cells and the subsequent production of glucose. Additionally, the circulation of cortisol functions to turn fatty acids into available energy, which prepares muscles throughout the body for response. Catecholamine hormones, such as adrenaline (epinephrine) or noradrenaline (norepinephrine), facilitate immediate physical reactions associated with a preparation for violent muscular action and:
Acceleration of heart and lung action
Paling or flushing, or alternating between both
Inhibition of stomach and upper-intestinal action to the point where digestion slows down or stops
General effect on the sphincters of the body
Constriction of blood vessels in many parts of the body
Liberation of metabolic energy sources (particularly fat and glycogen) for muscular action
Dilation of blood vessels for muscles
Inhibition of the lacrimal gland (responsible for tear production) and salivation
Dilation of pupil (mydriasis)
Relaxation of bladder
Inhibition of erection
Auditory exclusion (loss of hearing)
Tunnel vision (loss of peripheral vision)
Disinhibition of spinal reflexes
Shaking
Function of physiological changes
❤
The physiological changes that occur during the fight or flight response are activated in order to give the body increased strength and speed in anticipation of fighting or running. Some of the specific physiological changes and their functions include:
Increased blood flow to the muscles activated by diverting blood flow from other parts of the body.
Increased blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugars, and fats in order to supply the body with extra energy.
The blood clotting function of the body speeds up in order to prevent excessive blood loss in the event of an injury sustained during the response.
Increased muscle tension in order to provide the body with extra speed and strength.
👉👉OH and BTW....
This inhibits the production of Oxytocin in the body which is responsible for A LOT(look it up, i did.......Studies have looked at oxytocin's role in various behaviors, including orgasm, social recognition, pair bonding, anxiety, in-group bias, situational lack of honesty, autism, and maternal behaviors.) and here is the kicker:
LACK OF OXYTOCIN MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AUTISM
NOT FUCKING VACCINES!!!
AGAIN look it up
