CIO can be effective when a child is an appropriate age . It can also be safer than parents dealing with long term sleep deprivation putting their kids in danger . Calling is stupid in all situations is ignorant and arrogant . You don ' t have to be willing to do it , it ' s not for everyone , but it ' s been shown to not cause any long term issues with kids over 7 months . I think 3 months is too young , but there ' s no evidence the poster practiced CIO . Your child crying for a minute or two before sleep is not letting them CIO . That can be the time it takes to go to the toilet ! <| sep |> They right <| sep |> That ' s also how a lot of Europeans treat otherness . Let ' s stop kidding ourselves please . <| sep |> I had asked about t his a few weeks ago and only got a few upvotes and one answer . OttoPlay has been working great for me . You can make your own ' channel ' that acts just like cable TV , using NetflixHuluYoutubeetc . I love it .
