I would define CC as letting a child cry until they are in distress and still not comforting them. All children make noises; gurgling and whatnot, as well as the odd cry - if that stops, that doesn't mean the child has been CC'd, just that the child stopped that noise. You have said if Kaitlyn is distressed you won't just let her cry, so that's not control crying - not to me, anyway. If you've ever seen a poor wee mite of a baby under 3m old scream and scream until they're red in the face and their heart is almost pounding out their chest because their parents are CCing then you'll understand why I see a difference in letting a child make a noise for a short while but not get that upset. Others, however, will disagree - just go with the definition you like best!

HTH.
