The cry it out method isn't just one set of instructions for getting your baby to sleep through the night but rather a variety of strategies. We'll explain those strategies.
I’d like to hear about them. There are also many different sleep training methods. I can see how some might have issues. For example I stayed in baby’s room and just pet/shush her instead of holding. She screamed on top of her lungs for 4 hours in my face while I did that. Was that stressful for her? Probably, yeah. But it was either that or killing myself due to months of having less than 1hr of sleep. I’m sure not having parents is worse than whatever issues your wife found. I’m happy your child was chill enough to naturally learn how to sleep. That wasn’t the case with our kid.
