I am against the C.I.O Method. What about you?

Question

I am 15 years old but i have already made up my mind that i am against the cry it out method when it comes to putting my babies to bed. I don't want them to think i have abandoned them and i dont want their last memory before falling asleep is to be of them crying. What do you think?

You are correct.  What you say has been backed up by research. A baby stops crying because it gives up hope of getting help.  What is wrong with picking up a crying baby anyway?  They are babies for goodness sake!  They can't tell us what is wrong, so they cry.  If picking them up soothes them, then parents should do it.
I had 3 and I didn't let them cry.  
How a parent can sit in the living room and let a baby "cry it out" is beyond me.  Crying themselves to sleep  is such a sad thing.

I'm against children who post the same question multiple times.  I'd ask what about you, but clearly you disagree.
