Never did I say anything about neglecting my kids, or not feeding them so they wasted away and failed to thrive! My goodness people can make such stretches. I said that I taught them to put themselves to sleep from the time they were born. Did they cry before they fell asleep, yes in the beginning. Did I hug and rock and cuddle them all throughout the day, yes. Did I feed them well on a schedule, yes. They both learned to put themselves to sleep and back to sleep if the awoke by 1-2 months of age. It was wonderful for both of us, everyone was well rested, well fed, and able to enjoy our time together during the day. Some parents just seem to think that they have to go running every time they hear the baby fuss. It makes for tired cranky parents and babies.
I hope I am misunderstanding your post. Are you saying you let your newborn cry itself to sleep?
