Parents should never allow their babies to cry themselves to sleep at night. Babies need a lot of attention from their parents and a lots of love. Babies cry for different reasons, they might be hungry, need a diaper changed, they could be teething, have a tummy ache, ear ache or just want some attention.

Babies are not born to know how to talk, like us older people knows how to do. Babies cry to let you know that they are in need of something. Crying is part of there life. Just like eating, drinking, walking, and everything else you do is part of what you do in your life. Babies are special and need special attention.

I have two children of my own and I never did let them cry themselves to sleep. I always made sure they were fed, changed and then I would rock them to sleep. Rocking your baby to sleep lets them know that you love them and that you will always be there for them, no matter what goes on in there life, as they grow they will know that you will always be there for them. I always make sure that I was there for my children because I don't want them to think I don't care and get mixed in the wrong groups of teenagers or young adults. I didn't want them experimenting on drugs, smoking, drinking or get into sex, and end up in prison, pregnant or worse yet dead.

Babies are gifts from God. They need both parents to give them the best. Or even if you are a single parnet, give your child the best you can give. Always make sure that they know you will be there for them no matter what. They need to know that we are there for them. Babies grow up to young adults. Don't you want your child to grow up the right way. I know that after they become a teenager or before they don't want anything to do with there parents or they don't want you to think they do.

So, as they are babies and young toddlers, give them all the attention and love you can give so when they do get older, they can remember the advice and love you gave them. And maybe they will keep the advice and love in there life as they grow and become parents themselves.

No, you should never let your babies cry themselves to sleep at night. For one, it isn't right. For two, the baby might be disturbing the other children (if you have any), or the neighbors (if you live in apartment). And for another reason they might be crying is that something is wrong and they what to let you know.

So, next time you are thinking about letting your baby cry itself to sleep at night. I would think twice about it. Your baby needs its mother. It also needs its father. But, the mother gives the child the love and nurture it needs to grow in healthy adult and become its best in life.

Babies are young adults in the making. God gave you a precious gift. So, make sure you take care of that precious gift. In my own experience babies bring joy, happiness, and love. Sometimes like my oldest daughter they can get colic and it can take a lot out of you, but if you are in need of a break, get a babysitter. That for one is why I don't let my children cry for no reason at all. My children now are teenagers and they are the best. They know they can come to me for anything.
