Should you let your baby cry?

Here is a question that has become an eternal debate, with some advising to let the baby cry and others rushing to the slightest cry. Let's get to the point!


  • Did you know that a healthy baby cries for an average of two hours a day, which is the only way for her to express hunger, anxieties, and little nuisances?
  • So, should we let him cry? Even among health professionals, the question is highly debated.
  • Dr. Ferber, the inventor of the 5-10-15 method, encourages parents to let babies cry before consoling them, to facilitate the establishment of their autonomy.
  • This method is questioned by some studies: the more a child cries, the more her stress and anxiety levels increase.
  • But opinions are unanimous in affirming that the only advice is to follow your instinct: if you can't bear to let your baby cry, console her!

Hey y’all I know it’s not pcos related but I just wanted to say I know why they say it’s not a good idea for ur friend to live with u. My friend have been staying with my bf and I for 2-3 months her and her two kids. And she don’t clean up we have to tell her to clean up after herself when she gets out the shower she don’t rinse it out and leaves water all on the floor. She’s in her second job since she’s been here already. her 3 year old do wtf she wants and she say nothing she go in everything that’s nots theirs and the baby all he do is cry and she let him. I want to tell her she has to go but I’ll feel like a bad friend. But since she was here all my bf and I do is argue about the stuff she has going on in the house. The little space she’s always in is always dirty which is my back room it’s so dirty we can’t even go in to work out on our treadmill anymore. What should I do ? I’m tired of it

Honestly I think you should tell her it’s time to go? because that’s too much like y’all are adults cmon now… Ik she’s your friend but sometimes you gotta straight up? cause that’ll ruin your relationship with your bf fr and Ik you don’t want at all.. I understand I was in the same boat. I had to tell my friend she had to go or I would get a court order cause how disgusting she was and always causing drama. So again honestly lol I think you need to tell her to go ❣️ and I wish you best love✨☺️

Okay. Just needed another opinion my mom told me no cause if it was me she would help me and I know she would but i know I’m living with someone who saved me from a very toxic relationship and basically saved my life I would cook and clean as much as I can. If it wasn’t for my bf she would’ve been gone

Hey ladies quick questions. Do you let your baby cry when you know nothing is wrong? (Full stomach, diaper changed,etc) they just want to be held 24/7
