I'm probably not someone who'll try controlled crying when the time comes but am not judging those who do. I know it has a good success rate, it's just not for me.
I admit I got sucked in with the whole 'if the baby cries and no one comes it learns that mummy doesn't always come if you're upset' stuff. But as I was driving home the other day and my 3 month old wailed LITERALLY the entire way home, I wondered if that causes the same problems anti controller criers say leaving them in their cot does?
Or am I being a total bitch and everyone else stops every 5 minutes to soothe their child when they cry in the car?

AIBU?
To think if controlled crying does 'damage', does letting them cry in the back of the car do the same?
