Right now Josiah is crying in his crib. He has been crying for an hour and a half non stop. We are trying to get him back on a schedule and it has been very difficult between him teething, being at Emily's house for a little bit and moving into this temporary apartment. My friend jamie and I have discussed the differences in peoples' parenting styles, and I am actually curious to know what people think.
Do you think it is okay to let your children cry in their cribs in order to get them onto a normal, predictable schedule, or do you think it is better for children to be held, nursed, or picked up when they cry, and why? I'm not asking advice, just your opinions. I guess I want to know what my friends' experiences are since I don't get to talk to you all as much as I'd like.
