#cio method

[raisesomehale]

friendly reminder that the cry it out method is used on babies who are literally physiologically UNABLE to self-soothe and there is strong evidence to suggest this technique is the #1 creator of numerous mental illnesses and if you instead just LEARN your child’s cries and the differences between them you can choose when or how to respond and they will associate that with you only responding when they REALLY need something (not with you responding ANY time they cry) instead of you outright ignoring them and them REMAINING stressed and distressed but instead now learning that no one will answer their cries.

like? what kinda fucked up -

in terms of scale, babies are smarter than probably any adult on the planet so lets stop treating them like squishy mounds of flesh that have no feelings or emotions until we decide they’ve reached a desirable age.

When the parents have adopted the CIO method.

So true! You cannot, absolutely CANNOT, spoil a baby. Go to them, pick them up, soothe them, nurture them; they need you, and these times are temporary. You will make it through, be there for your babies. 💪❤

And talked to my grandma, which help quite a bit.. I think that parents who use the CIO method are crazy because I am basically an adult and I would have been in heaps more emotional pain if I didn't have someone to comfort me. And I think if I were to have just cried it out I would still be feeling like shit but pretty much with more of an empty feeling. I don't care if I would be "spoiling" my baby by soothing it when it cries, I'm not gonna let my kid feel as if no one is there to comfort this baby who has no idea what's even going on when it is reaching out. My baby wouldn't be crying just to cry, I would have to at least investigate and if there were nothing I could see, or do to help it, I'd have no choice but to rock it to sleep or at least rock it till the baby stops cry. I don't know if anyone's actually reading what I post, although I really don't care but if you are a parent or becoming a parent please read the negative effects of the CIO method, and make an educated decision on how you handle late night cries. I personally don't see anything positive about it until the baby is at least a toddler, I think toddlers are able to understand a little more than newborns (obviously). Whatever My brain hurts and the camomile has made me sleeping, although now baby is wide awake and squirming around!

Don't judge my parenting

I'm not a huge fan of CIO method but somedays there's literally nothing at all wrong with her. Like she's been fed, she's been changed, she's warm or cool (depending the weather) there's literally nothing wrong and yet she decided to scream bloody murder. So I let her. She cries for maybe 10 minutes (if that) and then either goes to sleep or starts talking and then fall asleep. Once in a blue moon I'll do this. But it's weird. If I do it, it's fine but if my mom does it I feel like she's just being mean?

It REALLY annoys me when people say something about Jonathan "not being able to self soothe" or telling me not to pick him up when he cries. I know you're hinting at CIO. Bye bye, ya botherin me.

CIO Method

I hateee it so much. I can't stand him crying so much, needing my comfort.. but there's so much I can take. I need to be ALONE sometimes. And it's 2:48am waaaay past his bedtime\: I hate when his sleeping schedule gets fucked up. It took him to get sick just to get it back on track....

I got a few time bc people dont arrive yet, so... CIO debate time

Today's debate is about CIO method...

whats your opinion about this? and Why?

My opinion: Im against the CIO method...I think its cruel to make this to a child...They need love and to feel understood so i dont think i would ever use this with my kids...and its proved that CIO kills some brain cells...CIO stress our babies and stress us too...I want my baby to feel loved and dont feel abandoned by me or his dad...There are another ways to introduce your baby to sleep by himself... I mean, this method can also be usefull if used properly but there are much more cons than pros about this... One of my auties used this, and it was stressfull for us who were listening the baby cry and for him... If i want my kids to have a sleep schedule, ill make it another way than CIO

And about you?
