Teaching Babies to Self Soothe When Crying
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art173738.asp
Some babies are late to learn 'self-soothing' because they are not developmentally ready to take on that responsibility. Teaching a baby to self-soothe without being aware of what might be causing them physical discomfort or other distress is counterproductive to raising a resilient child. Comforting a baby or young child in distress with kindness and patience is a habit that parents develop over time and in many stressful circumstances.
