Personally, I felt VERY anxious when my son cried as a young baby. I had to be holding him pretty much 24/7 and I think this was a really healing time for me to overcome my own disrupted attachment as an infant. So I'd love to see this study to find out more about what they studied and found.

As you say though Jodi, not everyone will feel this way. I remember watching that 1950's parenting guru lady, Claire someone, on Bringing up Baby and thinking that her ability to detatch from a baby's cry was possibly related to her own detatchment created from being raised to cry it out herself. So I can see how it could work both ways.
