to ask how the no crying method works

[Northend77]

This is aimed at Mums who choose not to let their babies cry
I am really posting here for traffic but hope that people don't take this as a criticism of the method as I am genuinely interested in how it works in practice. I have twins and chose to let them cry or did controlled crying (only ever really needed to do it for one of them) and that worked for me. But it has always baffled me how the practice works. Is it just for when they are babies and you don't use it when they are toddlers? Is it EVERY time they cry? At what age do you stop (if only for babies)? If not just for babies, how does it work when a toddler is having a tantrum (I am sure that most toddlers have at least one in their lifetime!)
Just really intrigued. Thanks

Cath my "baby" is 8 now and isn't spoilt nor a crybaby if that's close enough to 10 years for you.

I hate it when people decide that "some other parenting method" is some bonkers ridiculous thing, you know that would be as hyperbolic as me putting shocked faces and claiming all parents who sleep train lock their babies in cold dark rooms for hours, poor things.

We're all working to the same goal in the end.

I wouldn't leave a tiny baby to cry unless to wasn't physically possible for a few moments but as they get older not rushing immediately unless they are hurt or frightened.

I agree with explaining briefly to a toddler why they can have/do something but a few mums I know keep trying for ages to rationalize and comfort through a tantrum only to give in at the end. This drives me silently mad. We are going to have a generation of mostly entitled adults in the future.
