It is very important that we inform the public on the possible effects of "crying it out." The reason I say possible is because we don't have the long term data to say with absolute certainty what the effects are. However, I agree that all evidence points to this not being a healthy practice.

I've heard that cortisol can make it harder for a child to fall asleep..then when they finally do, it makes them wake up sooner. Crying increases the levels so it's a horrible cycle. Your research is even better evidence of the real LONGTERM damage you're doing when you CIO. Love this thought: "The only question you have to ask yourself is - do you want your baby to self-soothe now or when they are an adult?"My parents didn't let me CIO, but I grew up in a very stressful environment. I'm hoping that I can avoid that for my daughter...because I do not want her to end up with all the depression issues I've had over the years. Thank you for giving me something to think about!

While I appreciate most of the attached parenting principles, I have tried to talk my wife into letting our son cry a bit more when he's tired. Your post reminded me of things I learned while getting my Neuroscience degree, and the logic was very sound. Excellent points.
