Well, I found the comment equally troubling. To me its akin to saying that a person thats never smacked their child has never had a naughty child and that gentle methods only work if you have a 'good' baby.

A lot of time and sacrifice goes into gentle methods, it's not very encouraging to hear that the efforts are wasted, and that if a baby's sleeping is bad enough it calls for CC in the end anyway, which is what we work hard to avoid.
