看看WIKI的Cry it out定義,這是國外慣用通稱會讓寶寶哭的睡眠訓練。
The "Cry It Out" (CIO) approach can be traced back to the book "The Care and Feeding of Children" written by Dr. Emmett Holt in 1895.[1] CIO is any sleep-training method which allows a baby to cry for a specified period before the parent will offer comfort. "Ferberization" is one such approach. Ferber does not advocate simply leaving a baby to cry. Some pediatricians,[2] however, feel that any form of CIO is unnecessary and potentially damaging to a baby.[3]
台灣很多人看的百歲醫生,Dr.Denmark,有粉絲團約2000人,國外最有名的哭泣式睡眠訓練發起者Dr.Ferber,沒粉絲團,查詢Cry it out,沒有粉絲團,反而是 反對cry it out的粉絲團,快4000人,更不用說attachment parenting有兩個都是幾萬人的粉絲團,Ask Dr.Sears的粉絲團超過9萬人,這些數字可以看出,在國外幾乎只有不知道CIO是有害的少數人才會用CIO,完全不像在台灣睡眠訓練這麼紅,台灣在網路上常見有人推薦別人訓練寶寶,台灣受害寶寶的比例應該是遠超過美國,搞不好是世界第一。
