My MIL was adamantly against it and was banned from out home while we nap-trained because she would rescue LO at the first sign of a cry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-parents-feel-about-letting-your-los-cry-it-out#post-791786 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:46:37 +0000 autumnlove 791786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did it with LO but I think my parents would be against it and my MIL would be supportive </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-parents-feel-about-letting-your-los-cry-it-out#post-791746 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:30:39 +0000 BananaPancakes 791746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I doubt they know I even let him CIO. It's not their business. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-parents-feel-about-letting-your-los-cry-it-out#post-791739 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:28:35 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 791739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not into CIO (at this point - 8 months) and thankfully we feel like his sleep is good enough that we're not looking to sleep train at all. He goes 7pm-6am with 3-4 wake-ups to eat. </p> <p>My parents mention letting him CIO constantly. "Well, someday you'll just have to let him cry...." I don't know why they keep bringing it up! I never even complain about his sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-parents-feel-about-letting-your-los-cry-it-out#post-791726 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:23:42 +0000 Lindsay05 791726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom does not like it. She understands why I did it but anytime LO cries she feels SO bad for her and wants to help her. If I leave her with her they will not let her cry to sleep instead they just keep her up so that she gets really overtired and I will have to deal with her. MIl on the other hand is very good at doing what we want her to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-parents-feel-about-letting-your-los-cry-it-out#post-791725 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:23:00 +0000 MamaMoose 791725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents are constantly telling me I need to let LO cry (this is all over the phone because they live far away). But any time they are with her they pick her up the SECOND she cries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-parents-feel-about-letting-your-los-cry-it-out#post-791720 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:19:51 +0000 2PeasinaPod 791720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom can't handle it. If he's even just fussing a little, she wants to go get him. My dad on the other hand is all for CIO. My inlaws can handle it better than my mom, but still aren't fans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-parents-feel-about-letting-your-los-cry-it-out#post-791716 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:16:41 +0000 yerpie110 791716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom is all for it, but my MIL cannot handle it if LO cries for even a SECOND. drives me batty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-parents-feel-about-letting-your-los-cry-it-out#post-791707 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:14:04 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 791707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's all for it... she told me once that I cried for 6 hours straight and my dad told her that's what they have to do to teach me how to sleep. This was back in the early 80s and I don't know if she was exaggerating or not!! 6-hours mom!? Really?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-parents-feel-about-letting-your-los-cry-it-out#post-791691 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:08:34 +0000 littlek 791691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents aren't a fan of CIO, but like @Weagle they see that LO falls asleep pretty quickly, so it's not a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-parents-feel-about-letting-your-los-cry-it-out#post-791679 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:06:07 +0000 Weagle 791679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are not a fan of LO crying at all. However, once they saw that she fusses for &lt;2 minutes (if at all) then goes right to sleep, I think they realized that we're not leaving her to scream herself to sleep. They definitely would go in there within 30 seconds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-parents-feel-about-letting-your-los-cry-it-out#post-791653 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:00:08 +0000 ladyfingers 791653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha well, when LO was 4 weeks old, my dad informed me I should let him CIO because that's what they did with me. That as long as I was fed and clean, they'd just let me cry myself to sleep. At 3 weeks old. </p> <p>*shrug*</p> <p>ETA I don't have a problem with CIO, just wasn't comfortable with it when he was so little! We'd probably do it now that he's over 3 months though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-parents-feel-about-letting-your-los-cry-it-out#post-791651 Fri, 17 May 2013 13:59:39 +0000 edelweiss 791651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my parents are fine with it, because when they raised me and my sister, letting babies cry it out was pretty normal. i'm thankful, because if they disagreed and made comments, i would feel so insecure and torn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-parents-feel-about-letting-your-los-cry-it-out#post-791625 Fri, 17 May 2013 13:56:06 +0000 Freckles 791625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do they make any comments to you about it? </p>
