Heartburn Self Care

I let my son Cry it out.. Is this a normal reaction??

My pediatircian told me to let my 4 month old son cry too self soothe himself at naptime. My day has consisted of holding a extreemly tired crying baby who just wont go to sleep and screams even harder when placed in his crib. Yes he has gas, HAS Reflux which Is heartburn, is teething, and is normal like everybaby wanting to be held. We have taken care of all of this so this isnt of concern to us(but it was a long journey). Nothing will put him to sleep, even holding him. I finally had the courage and strength to let him CIO just now. IT was terible. It only lasted about 15 minutes. I had gave him a blanket to rub his cheek on as if it was my arm(I watched afraid hed suffocate) Hw would fall asleep for a couple of seconds then wake up crying and then sleep then It was about a mintute till he cried. and it kept going to a wimper and then he was out.. Is this normal?? Im just wondering so If it is normal then I can build myself up for it and let him do it. Happy Easter. Thankyou

Why would you let your Dr tell you do damage your child? Do you have any idea what cry it out does to a baby. You need to change Dr’s and fast. You are putting your tiny baby at risk of health and emotional problems that can last his whole life. Hold your baby when they need you. How would you like it if you had to lay and cry when you needed some love and comfort. Babies DO NOT need to cry to learn to self soothe. Anyone who says that is just being a lazy parent. They are not born with that ability, you need to help them through it. Your child will much more secure as a child and adult if you take the time to give them what they need

“Children who do not have consistently responsive and sensitive caregivers often develop into insecure individuals, characterized by anxious, avoidant, and/or ambivalent interactions. Long-term studies have shown that secure individuals, compared to insecure individuals, are more likely to be outgoing, popular, well-adjusted, compassionate, and altruistic. As adults, secure individuals tend to be comfortable depending on others, readily develop close attachments, and trust their partners. Insecure individuals, on the other hand, tend to be unsettled in their relationships, displaying anxiety (manifesting as possessiveness, jealousy, and clinginess) or avoidance (manifesting as mistrust and a reluctance to depend on others). North American parenting practices, including CIO, are often influenced by fears that children will grow up too dependent. However, an abundance of research shows that regular physical contact, reassurance, and prompt responses to distress in infancy and childhood results in secure and confident adults who are better able to form functional relationships. “
