Apr 2003 Controlled Crying AAIMHI Position Paper |

The Australian Association for Infant Mental Health (AAIMHI) is concerned about the widely practiced technique of "controlled crying".
Controlled crying is a technique which is used as a way of managing infants, and young children, who do not settle alone, or who wake during the night.
AAIMHI is concerned that controlled crying is not consistent with what infants need for their optimal emotional and psychological health, and may have unintended negative consequences.
