I haven't used the method but I had a read of it after googling it. I know what the woman is getting at but I don't like the sound of it because:
I think all crying needs to be addressed (even tho she says to just hold the crying baby)
I don't think you can ever tell what type of crying is the 'recovering from distress' type that she talks about
People (not you or I type) can use this method as a reason for not attending to bubs or to justify crying it out.
I have a natural instinct to always determine what is causing bub to cry and to attend to the issue. While I also don't believe in no crying at all costs (as I think this denies baby the right to express emotions etc) or in trying to distract a crying baby with other things, I will always see what the problem is, fix it or if this doesn't work, cuddles, humming, rocking etc.
I wonder what the woman is basing her philosophy on and how can anyone REALLY know that this is a reason for a baby crying?
