Letting him cry

They can not self soothe at two months old! They need their parents. This makes my heart sad to read😢

My husband has been saying that since our son was born 15 months ago. I just tell him that leaving a helpless baby alone to "cry it out" is the equivalent of him being a quadriplegic and me leaving him in a bed and ignoring him calling my name for water and food etc. He shuts up after that. Trust your mommy instinct. You know your baby and what s/he needs better than anyone else.

I think 2 months is too young for this approach.  My baby is 10 weeks and sometimes he has to cry because I'm in the middle of something I can't immediately drop to pick him up but I think at his age he needs to be attended to when he cries.

Do not let your baby cry it out at two months old!!!! They will lose trust in you, and also they don't understand why you aren't responding! It's an instinct / reflex, and they will not stop until they are tended to, I honestly would consider it neglect! Please do not let your little baby cry it out. :'( 

NOOO! At that age they are WAYto young   to "cry it out" at 2 months you baby needs something (food, clean bottom, or a simple rocking to sleep) my sons doc said it can cause abandonment issues, and he will associate that with his crib and then bed time will be all sorts of hell.. Wait until they are older to "cry it out"..

Do not let your baby cry at this age they are too young to self sooth and are crying because they need something and that something might be as simple as his mummy holding him so he knows it's ok. I will never forget when I let my (now 7 week old) cry for a bit too long. He had his bottle I changed him so I thought he was just overtired. After about 5 minutes I couldn't take anymore and picked him up he was hot, sweaty and looked generally stressed..turns out he was still hungry and I had missed the cues.After that though I swore to never never do that again, even if I don't always know what he wants he will feel better by me holding him than just leaving him to cry and get stressed. 

Waaay to young to understand that. I think it's around 10 months they can understand

What we do is make sure we have done everything eg feed change then we have cuddles and if he's still fussy we put him down in the same room as us for a few minutes with the lights off to see if he settles which is starting to work! I wouldn't leave them to cry just yet they don't understand and will just feel abandoned 

Way too young 

I really hope your little guy has settled into a routine. It's easier for men to say they need to cry it out cause they don't have the bond that we do as moms. Plus they cry b/c they need something (to eat, diaper...) a major need they have is simply skin to skin contact w/mom. They lived in us for 9 months & just hearing your heartbeat helps calm them. I get emails for new mom advice on everydayfamily.com & this is just an excerpt from when my son turned 9 weeks: Nine-week-old babies are still too young for the Ferber Method. This method teaches parents to let infants and toddlers cry for progressively longer periods until they accept a sleeping arrangement. It is not recommended until babies are at least six months of age.My son is almost 11 weeks old & thankfully has been sleeping threw the night since he turned 4 weeks. This is my 2nd child & possibly our last so I flat out told my husband if he cries I will comfort my son..he tried letting our son cry alone when he was only 3 weeks! These are moments you will never get back as they get older & you should cherish them. I hope your husband comes to understand that your child needs the affection from both parents.
