out of curiosity, how does the book help you distinguish the different types of cries? to an untrained person even just listening, you might think the cries mean the same thing. as a new mother, at first they all sounded the same and then slowly I learnt what they meant.
but just wanted to know how the book tells you what is what?
Maybe somebody else can answer that, I didn't dwell on that section as I hope not to need it! But she is talking about bubs over 6 months old I think it requires having gotten to know your babies sounds and cries over time.
The main thing that I noted is that she's talking about leaving them cry for only a few minutes in any event, and coming in immediately if they are in way distressed. If you don't know your babies cries well enough then her philosophy would be, I think, assume they are distressed and do not leave them to CIO.
