Letting baby cry

Ch

I’ve seen a lot of women on here and other apps saying that they would never let their baby cry it out. That it’s damaging to them because it causes them stress. With my first child I was very responsive every time he cried. But this is my second baby. And my first child has needs too.

If I know my baby isn’t starving or have some other urgent need, is it really that baby to let him cry for a bit so I can, for instance, make my other child dinner, or finish giving him a bath????
