This method of sleep training is so many shades of wrong. This is not sleep training. This is abandonment. I cant believe this is happening in a civilised society and parents are paying Dr Brian Symons for this service. This will lead to damaged children harmed by extreme stress on their developing brains. Children and emotional intelligence are far too precious and we dont nurture our children in utero for 9 months and then allow this to happen. Dr Howard Chilton has commented on his Facebook page and says, This is a method of pure abandonment. The reason it works is that evolution has developed within humans a mechanism that, if the baby feels (s)he is abandoned, crying ceases to protect the baby from attracting predators. Its called extinction. Stress remains high (hence it can induce vomiting) but the baby falls silent. This, unfortunately, is precisely at a time when the baby is developing his long-term brain wiring about whether he is loved, valued and safe. The Daily Telegraph have since removed the article from their site. essentialbaby.au/baby/baby-sleep/why-the-sleep-doctor-doesnt-know-best-20141015-1164ho.html
