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.
Fair! My main point was that the title of this post was misleading; there are lots of reasons not to sleep train. This article didn’t even really cover why to sleep train, either, since I suppose the decision depends on the balance of reasons for and against.
I do think that a lot of Cry It Out methods are cruel and damaging, but that there are a very wide range of practices contained in that one umbrella method.

Well, when a toddler throws a temper tantrum and you still tell them no and there’s no changing your mind… that’s cry it out too.
Yeah, I never did that either.
