I was talking to a family friend about my 8 week old son and how he’ll sleep 6-8 hours a night, but want to eat every hour and a half during the day. No complaints from me. Just commenting and making conversation.

They told me their children wanted to do that, and made them CRY IT OUT so they only fed them every 3 hours. “I knew they were hungry, but they needed to learn MY schedule.”

I was pretty shocked. I know people use it to teach self soothing. I for one am not a fan.

But I never heard anyone say it’s for infant feeding. All their kids are very small/thin. Is that even healthy? Did they admit to practically starving their babies?! 😭

I mean, you feed them on THEIR cues, right?
