note: a poster on the main board has often reminded us that it is not wrong to step away from a baby for a time, even a crying baby, if you feel so exhausted and at the end of your rope, that you are tempted to abuse the child.

A note about Mothering magazine:
they are an excellent source for articles about gentle parenting including anti-CIO references. Unfortunately their links seem to be changed often at http://www.mothering.com which makes it hard to find their articles later. So I am listing the names and authors of the Mothering articles; in case you can't find them later, you can google. Sometimes they show up at http://www.findarticles.com

(note: in his book about SIDS, Dr. William Sears tells the story of a baby in his practice who died of SIDS the very first night the mom let the baby cry-it-out, after being pushed into it by the baby's grandmother. )

The Dr. Sears website seems to be down today, 12-31-04
