Yes, I think BB is making a statement here that CIO is wrong and not to be done, also that parents who don't love their children do this. What could have been a good, informative article was brought down by emotive, judgemental wording and by Kelly re-publishing, BB is "owning" that judgement. Not just this article either, there is a general "CIO is bad" vibe throughout the forum, which I am happy to say I go along with. But this is just a bit too emotive and confrontational. I felt the writer lost a lot of credibility by turning her point into a... can't think of the word now, but letting it get personal and emotional.

I was a mother with no help. No DH most of the time (especially at night!). No family to just cook a meal. Friends telling me to CIO because I had no sleep. I didn't do it: I knew that advice was wrong for us. DS was very good at knowing he should sleep at night and when he woke then he needed something, quite often comfort for pain that never went away. Just because you're tired and someone tells you to do something, you don't have to!
