do you believe “not every cry needs attention” ??

Sometimes.
I think babies are usually always crying for a reason though. They aren’t machines that just need feeding, burping and sleep. They need connection, communication, joy etc.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with letting them cry sometimes though!

I don’t really believe in “cry it out” for babies ever, I do think it’s fine to leave a baby crying if everything is fine & your just tryna get something done real quick, but I also think all cries deserve acknowledgment, it’s a babies only way to communicate, nothing has to be physically wrong for there to be a want or need for comfort.

I just assume there's something else going on that I can't physically do anything for, maybe trapped wind I couldn't get out, maybe something else hurts, maybe she just needs comfort, and that's enough for me to pick her up. I'd much rather she's crying on me than crying alone in her bassinet.
That being said, there's absolutely times where you need to put your crying baby down and walk away to breathe.

Sometimes sure. I think if all needs are met, and you’re in the middle of something, like going to the bathroom, showering, etc., I don’t think you need to jump right that second and cut your poop short to attend to them lol.

Nope it’s their only method of communication so I believe they don’t ever cry for nothing. We might think it’s nothing but it never is to them.

No. All crying has a reason even if I can't figure out the why. A baby thats fed can still be hungry, changed can need to be changed again, slept but needs more sleep, needs some love and attention. Can I always respond immediately? No. If I cannot physical touch the baby at that moment I call out to the baby and acknowledge the cry.

Sometimes yes, it depends, if all needs are met and there's nothing obvious upsetting them in the environment around them (bright lights, loud noises, etc), and they're not after physical contact, then yeah.

Our daughter would stir in the night when she was younger and cry a little but it would only last 10secs at most and she wouldn't fully wake up, she'd find her thumb and go back to sleep. So I stopped rushing to her in the night if I heard her, unless she'd been crying for like 30secs+, then I'd know that she needed something.

Sometimes during the day now as a toddler, she has big feelings and feels the need to cry, so I let her for a few minutes whilst being close by, then when she's ready she'll come to me for a hug and to self-regulate. Then if she needs something she'll ask me for it, like help putting on her shoes or opening her juice bottle, etc (it's usually when she's gets frustrated with not being able to do things on her own 😅).

9 times out of 10 she won't cry without a good reason xx

Also a midwife once said to me that "a safe, crying baby is better than a dead baby", if you do need to just walk away for a few minutes for a breather on a really hard day. Haven't ever really needed to do this, but it's a piece of advice that has stuck with me over the years xx

Sometimes they just want a cuddle/to be near you etc so no I don’t think it’s ever ok to let them ‘cry it out’, I mean if you hear a few moans that stop after a couple of seconds etc then that’s different. However if you are holding them and they don’t stop crying then that’s ok as you’re still there.
The caveat would be here is if you are really struggling mentally and you need to leave them crying for their safety for a minute somewhere safe then that’s ok.
