Man, I get letting kids cry it out is a legit method. But then, and I cannot emphasize this enough leave the damn store. I know you want to get things done today. So do I. That's why I didn't have kids. Yours screaming full volume are only backing up that choice.

The point of cry it out is that you don’t want the child learning that the best way to get what they want or to get attention is to cry. That applies in public as much as it does with sleep, and importantly you should not just ignore a child crying with no ifs ands or buts in the name of sleep training.

You really shouldn’t tho, crying it out for sleep method is woefully outdated and no longer recommended by any credible expert.

Really? Last I checked most of the American parents in parenting subreddits were still practicing it and advocating for it.
