Can you use the controlled crying method with newborn's or are they just too young. Secondly is controlled crying leaving them to cry until they sleep or allowing them to cry for a while then picking them up to comfort them and then put them down again?!
It's causing arguments with my husband who is afraid our baby will grow accustomed to being held until she falls asleep and thinks we should leave her to cry to sleep and me who thinks at 2 weeks old she is too young for this method and can't bear to hear her crying until she's red in the face and hysterical!
