What is "controlled crying"?

Answer by  monkeyz (3150)

Controlled crying is a technique used to train babies and children to sleep through the night without crying. The parent must wait before tending to a crying child for increasing intervals (2 minutes, then 4 minutes, then 8 minutes, etc.) and with minimal contact.

One effective way to sleep train newborns is by monitoring periods of crying with decreasing timed intervals to check in on the baby.
