Lol! This is certainly a topic that one must take the angle of agreeing to disagree

So still disagreeing but hey! If everyone agreed how boring would this world be?! Simply philosophical differences that we could all produce enough relevant research and theories to back our own sides!

So me: pro CC, as this is what its apparently being called - we have been able to teach our little ones to fall asleep on their own and sleep through the night at an early age and they are happy smart little vegemites and really when it comes down to it, settling is one small part of a large picture in which a child is moulded and nurtured as in, cc can not be wholly blamed for a child's somewhat timid, scared nature, as there are children not cc who are as well.

So finally, from me, whatever it takes to settle your child and maintain your own sanity, DO THAT!!! I will encourage consistency however as I believe babies thrive on predictability and stability. Whilst in the beginning it may not seem to be productive, what ever method one undertakes, it could take a couple of weeks before baby has fully learnt a new rhythm. oh and don't go it alone! Be on the same page as your partner, even get family on board so one can take a mental break if needed!!!!

MWA!!!
